Killer Shrews 08/23 Blu-ray (Rental)

DRIVE-IN SCHLOCK FAVORITES “THE GIANT GILA MONSTER” & “THE KILLER SHREWS”, ORIGINALLY RELEASED ON A DOUBLE-BILL! OVERSIZED ANIMALS UNITE ONCE AGAIN! The classic era of drive-in schlock was near its end in 1959, but there was still time for The Giant Gila Monster and The Killer Shrews, a pair of no-budget howlers from producer Gordon McLendon. In The Giant Gila Monster, a lizard takes on a small town. If that's not enough for you, there are plenty of cool cars and some ersatz rock 'n' roll sung by the movie's star, Don Sullivan (The Monster of Piedras Blancas). The Killer Shrews stars James Best (The Dukes of Hazard) as a riverboat pilot stuck on an island where the shrews are the size of German Shepherds. The cast includes Ken Curtis (Gunsmoke) and Ingrid Goude (Miss Universe, 1957). These two features were originally released on a double-bill. Trust us - they belong together!
