Monster Madness Collection (Region 1 Import DVD)

Scientific advancements yield truly monstrous results in this collection of classic horror films. True to the decade in which they were created (the 1950s), the four features here possess all the ingredients for vintage charm: dated special effects, quirky miniature sets, cheesy dialogue, and even a few musical numbers. LOST CONTINENT (1951): Major Nolan (Cesar Romero) is the leader of an expedition to find a rocket that crashed on a remote island. But the crew finds more than a rocket when they climb atop the mountain and discover a prehistoric land populated by dinosaurs. THE GIANT GILA MONSTER (1959): When a Texas town is threatened by a gigantic lizard, a singing and swinging teenager kick starts his friends into gear to stop the crazed beast. SHE DEMONS (1958): A cruise party takes a wrong turn and finds itself on a remote island inhabited by a tribe of sexy, modestly-garbed She Demons. But there's more: Nazi agents, a mad scientist, a war criminal, and a serum that transforms human beings into hideous beasts. MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL (1957): A test rocket goes berserk in orbit and crash-lands in Africa. One of the many scientific experiments contained within the ship is a nest of wasps. The strange radioactive frequencies of space have contaminated the nest, mutating the insects and unleashing giant flesh-craving wasps upon the hapless natives.
