Monster Movie Mix: Alien Threat / Deadly Attack - 12 Films is a DVD released by Echo Bridge Home Entertainment (UPC: 683904546593). What's on it? Read on to find out...
I picked this up for $1.00 in Dollar Tree on September 16, 2019. I had no clue what it contained. As you can see from the front and back covers shown above, the packaging doesn't give you any clue. For a Dollar, I figured I would take a chance out of curiosity.
It says "12 films", but that is a lie. There are only 3 movies here; the other 9 "films" are TV episodes. In total, there is 7 hours 39 minutes of video crammed onto one DVD. YIKES! Despite the modern-looking front and back cover art, everything here is from the 1950s to 1970s. The packaging deliberately fails to tell you what's inside because Echo Bridge doesn't want buyers to know that it's all a bunch of really old, poor quality public domain stuff that's been released MANY times over.
Here's a full list of what you'll find crammed onto this single DVD. All years and TV data comes from the IMDB, and is assumed to be correct.
