A double feature of B-movie greats by director Ray Kellogg. Both feature outsized animals and the heros who try desperately to defeat them. The horror! THE GIANT GILA MONSTER: 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. An enjoyable romp through 1950s science fiction drive-in cheese, the sleepy lizard wreaking havoc on miniature sets is no less terrifying than the musical numbers. THE KILLER SHREWS: People trapped on an island off Texas are attacked by vicious shrews developed by bungling scientists. If they had substituted dinosaurs for the tiny rodents, this might have been "Jurassic Park."

Distributor Notes: Giant Gila Monster: A classic from the golden drive-in era, Giant Gila Monster showcases hammy dialogue, snappy songs and, of course, special effects as the titular giant lizard terrorizes a small Texas town. Enterprising teen mechanic Chase Winstead and his best girl Lisa are the citizens only hope! A long-time B-movie favorite, Giant Gila Monster has been restored and is in gorgeous color for the very first time.

The Killer Shrews: A camp classic from the golden age of the drive-in theater! The Killer Shrews is a fast paced tale of Captain Thorne Sherman (James Best of Dukes of Hazzard fame) and his beautiful Swedish passenger Ingrid (Ann Craigis) stranded on a small island with snarling genetically mutated rodents (which look suspiciously like dogs wearing costumes). A much-loved B-movie favorite, The Killer Shrews has been beautifully restored and is in color for the very first time.
