T-Rex Meets Ape-Man In Scream Factory’s Newest Double Feature!
Until Scream Factory started doing them, I wasn’t very big on adding double feature discs that aren’t franchise related to my collection. My mindset has since turned as they’ve put out some doozies. And they usually have good reason for the pairings they have. It isn’t just slapping 2 movies together. They sometimes have a common them or someone there at Scream Factory just knows what works well for a double feature movie night in your living room with a group of friends. This time they are going all the way back to the 1950s era with their horror with The Beast Of Hollow Mountain and Neanderthal Man. An era that dealt in crazy monsters, radiation monsters and all that sort of fun stuff. While I don’t think the following movies are going to scare anybody any time soon, I don’t think that’s the distributors intention. Fans of releases of theirs like The Incredible Melting Man probably will get a kick out of this. Details and Amazon pre-order follow below!
