Four low-budget fifties shockers crawl back from the grave in the MONSTER MAYHEM COLLECTION. In MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL, animal test subjects launched up into space land back on Earth in Africa mutated into a giant beast. In THE BRAIN FROM PLANET AROUS, a scientist is possessed by a malevolent alien force. In FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER, the mad scientist's grandson tests experimental drugs on the daughter of his research partner while trying to build his own monster. In GIANT FROM THE UNKNOWN, a geologist, an archaeologist, and his daughter travel up into the mountains of Big Bear in search of the remains of the conquistador Diablo Giant only to discover he is still quite fresh.
