An island full of mutated creatures, a group stuck in a storm on said island as the creatures run amok. No, I'm not talking about 1993's Jurassic Park, I'm talking about 1959's THE KILLER SHREWS. How did a movie set in one location, directed by a special effects artist, with mediocre effects become the highest grossing independent movie of its time? Well, let's talk about it and more this week on THE MONSTER ZONE.

Well, join us this week as we look at the 1956 classic Western/Dinosaur movie, THE BEAST OF HOLLOW MOUNTAIN.

Before Charles Band was the man who brought us such classic as The Puppet Master series, Re-Animator, and Subspecies, he gave us 1982's PARASITE. An early 80's venture into the realm of 3-D, this movie didn't just give us early Stan Winston effects, but an early performance by now Academy Award nominee Demi Moore. To the wasteland we go, to fight a gang of raiders, eat soup at the local establishment, and get a room at the Hilton, ...

When legendary producer Roger Corman gives you instructions on want he wants from his monster movie, clearly you should listen.

We dive back into the Patreon Vault as another Burt I. Gordon "classic" makes it's way to the show, 1958's WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST. A sequel that lasts as long as a current day TV show episode, and the lack of exciting moments, was this the early case of leave a movie at one entry? Did the effects alone make this watchable? Mystery Science Theater 3000 did a good job at it, so let's see if we can, this week on THE MONSTER ZONE.
