I don't have this version, but I have GIANT GILA MONSTER in one of Mill Creek's 50 movie packs and the quality is very good.  I have the Alpha Video DVD of KILLER SHREWS.  I haven't watched it in a long time, but I seem to remember the quality was pretty good.  I think I also have KILLER SHREWS in a Mill Creek 50 movie pack, but I haven't watched that version.  As for your question about color . . . these are both black & white movies, so color is not an issue!

The Legend double feature of "The Killer Shrews" and "The Giant Gila Monster" is the one I used for my update to "The Killer Shrews" and it is the best print I have ever seen of the film.  It gets very grainy for about 5 seconds when the shrews tree Rook.

I have not watched the colorized versions they included in that set.

Can't say much on it, but the version of the Gila Monster I have is a very good quality transfer.  It's on a 9-movie set with some Gamera flicks and some other "Giant Monster" type flicks.

Don't get too close, it's dark inside.

The version of "Gila Monster" that I have is on VHS -- The Elvira Mistress of the Dark version, so you get lots of Cassandra Peterson at the beginning and end --
This version also came free with a case of Coors Light beer, though this is not how I acquired it.  I tend to avoid Coors Light . . .
So, you have both Elvira and a Coors beer ad on the box, in addition to a black and white still of the gila monster.  The trash value of this is sky-high & I don't care how good the DVD is, I ain't tradin'!!!

Funny thing is, I was watching it and someone was like, "This looks stupid."  An hour later they were still sitting there, like, "I might as well see how it ends." 

Then a few days ago they're watching like, PInk Flamingos and I'm like, "Never talk badly about my movies again."  No disrespect to Waters though, as I like his movies.

for some reason extras kinda suck but still okay probly wont watch in color agin thought
because ray kellog intented it on being black and white :thumbup: recomended for fans
of the movies.

Has anybody else heard that in "The Giant Gila Monster" they didn't use an actual gila monster, but the closely related Mexican beaded lizard?

I have Giant Gila Monster/The Wasp Woman on one of those "Drive-In Discs" that you can switch the sound to make it sound like you're at the drive-in. Also has a count-down clock, cartoons, concession stand ads and all that. Kind of a neat thing, but I got it more for the movie.
Love the Giant Gila Monster .. may be cheesy, but I love that old movie.
