Should we add cover art/order links to some of these?
"Monsters are tragic beings. They are born too tall, too strong, too heavy. They are not evil by choice. That is their tragedy. They do not attack people because they want to, but because of their size and strength, mankind has no other choice but to defend himself. After several stories such as this, people end up having a kind of affection for the monsters. They end up caring about them." - Ishiro Honda

Nah. Too much hassle for cover art and with order links there's simply too many places to get these movies from to curate.

Found a typo.

Spiders 3D should say "triple feature with Spiders & Spiders 2: Breeding Ground".

I'm glad I got War of the Colossal Beast, The Angry Red Planet & Gorgo on Blu-Ray before they went OOP. I missed the boat on The People That Time Forgot. Does anyone know when Clash of the Titans 1981 Blu-Ray went OOP? I got a copy on eBay for about $11 last night.

One typo that I saw just now: Tremors 2: Aftershocks doesn't say after DVD "part of Tremors: 7-Movie Collection box set".

A new imprint Film Masters will be releasing a Blu-ray double feature of The Giant Gila Monster and The Killer Shrews. They will be brand new 4K remasters from 35mm film elements.

Severin is releasing Where Time Began on Blu-ray for the first time. It's another adaptation of Journey to the Center of the Earth but in some ways actually sticks closer to the original novel than it's more famous counterpart. Featuring more monsters and even a giant gorilla (most likely to cash in on the 76 King Kong).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but on the master list, weren't Tentacles and Reptilicus released as a double feature Blu-ray by Shout! Factory / Scream Factory? Empire of the Ants was actually released by the same company as a double feature Blu-ray with the film Jaws of Satan.

Sorry, I looked again and found out I had mistaken the MGM DVD for the Shout! Factory / Scream Factory Blu-ray. That one's on me.

Raven Banner's Blu-ray release of Shin Ultraman should be included here.

Yeah I'm definitely getting that. Not wasting my time with the shitty Cleopatra release.

Featuring more monsters and even a giant gorilla (most likely to cash in on the 76 King Kong).
Actually, in the novel Journey to the Center of the Earth, chapters 37-39 sometimes include extra material involving prehistoric creatures, including Axel. the novel's narrator, watching a fight between two such creatures; one he calls the Shark-Crocodile and the other he calls both the Ape Gigans (twice) and the Antediluvian Gorilla (once). The first one is a crocodile with shark-like teeth and the second one is a 15-foot-tall ape that looks like a gorilla. The whole incident turns out to be a dream of Axel's. This extra material was added into the novel later as part of a revised edition of it published in 1867.

I just ordered it, but the actual title of the film on the Blu-ray's cover sleeve is Journey to the Center of the Earth, not Where Time Began.
