Son of Godzilla (1967)  Company: Video Treasures - CST Entertainment - Video Cassette Sales, Inc.  Country: United States  Category: Slip Cover This 1987 CST Entertainment VHS release has nice, yet somewhat generic boxart. The cover features the title at the top and original artwork of Minilla breathing atomic fire in the foreground with Godzilla in the background doing the same. Unlike some other VHS releases, the film description on the back is entirely accurate. Also on the back is a single picture of Minilla from the front of the box. The sides of the box each feature the same concept: a picture of Minilla from the front at the top with the title running down the rest of the way. As bland as this release might seem, it makes a fine addition to any G-Fan's collection.

Son of Godzilla (1967)  Company: Anchor Bay Entertainment, Inc. (1997)  Country: United States  Category: Slip Cover Licensed from American distributor Golden Books Family Entertainment and released in 1997, Anchor Bay's trademark tradition of using stills from The Return of Godzilla (1984) was still alive and kicking for this release. The front features a superimposed 1984-style Godzilla on a Tokyo backdrop, while a composite of Godzilla and his son Minilla decorate the foreground. As with many VHS releases from this period, Godzilla is featured with a vivid greenish hue. His son manages to maintain the truer-to-life charcoal grey tone (likely to show contrast). As for blurb mistakes, this package only features one inarguable inaccuracy: "an army of giant spiders" which would seem to indicate multiple Kumonga's. Naturally (perhaps only by legal obligation), the text ends with a standard-issue one-liner: "Where's Mrs. Godzilla when you really need her?"
