Don’t get as much of this sort of thing as we used to, but news from DVD Drive-in….

It is come to our attention that up for pre-order on Amazon.com are two science fiction DVD collections from Shout! Factory containing classics from MGM’s vault of AIP and UA titles (some, never before on DVD). Both are set for release on September 3 (and retailing for under $10 each), the two collections are “Movies 4 You – Sci-Fi Classics” which will include THE MAN FROM PLANET X, BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER, THE TIME TRAVELERS and THE ANGRY RED PLANET as well as “Movies 4 You – More Sci-Fi Classics” which will include THE AMAZING TRANSPARENT MAN, REPTILICUS, THE NEANDERTHAL MAN and THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE. No further details yet, but THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN’T DIE is reported to include a bonus scene which was deleted from International prints! later date.

    Nifty! THE TIME TRAVELERS has always been a favorite, and I’ve been anxious to see BEYOND THE TIME BARRIER for years now! (If they could have worked in TRAVELERS’ remake JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF TIME -not as good a movie, but nice to see Anthony Eisley, Scott Brady, and Gigi Perreu- they really would have had something!)

    For what it’s worth, VOYAGE TO THE PLANET OF TEENAGE CAVEWOMEN is finally ready for release as well, and hopefully should be on shelves by year’s end.
