First off, you might be wondering why this isn’t the honorable double feature – that being the Extraordinary Immense Man and War of the Large Beast. Well for some outlandish reason, Sam Arkoff’s estate has control of the second film and his AIP partner James Nicholson has the rights on the first film.

Both of the films were made by the improbable Bert I. Gordon. The “I” was for Astonishing. Earth Vs. The Spider (1958 – 73m) all you have to know about this film – it’s grand spider. This was a busy year for Bert because he also gave us War of the Broad Beast (1958 – 69m) – (along with Attack of the Puppet People – piece of MGM’s Midnite Movies series) . We notion we saw the last of Col. Glenn Manning, a man who grew to 60 feet broad after getting too stop to an atomic blast. But now he’s succor and not looking too valid – he really should utilize more lotion.
Both of these films are Psychotronic gems. I remember seeing both Mammoth films on Channel 56’s Creature Double Feature in Boston. Do hope the Nicholson estate gets their titles onto high quality DVD releases.
American-International Studios made the most fun movies I can grasp. Some even had sparks of genius, but almost all were tantalizing. I didn’t know that Nicholson & Arkoff had separate control over the various films. Certainly, AIP knew how to market their films, with the drive-in crowd, the bright Roger Corman doing Poe, and the Beach Party movies with Frankie and Annette. They even got an Oscar nomination once, for “Wild in the Streets” (Editing) . They also had terrific product placement ads, like in “The Spider”, promoting Puppet People; Dorothy Malone putting on a represent (in “Beach Party”) with an AIP label; and more. I agree that the Immense Man movies should’ve been attach together on a disc; the other “Cult Classics” DVD released by Lions Gate (How to Manufacture a Monster/Blood of Dracula) was fantastic, and I hope they retain doing it. Perhaps now I understand why “Invasion of the Saucermen”, “It Conquered the World”, “The Day the World Ended”, and, best of all, “Not of this Earth”, haven’t been released. I hope that Mr. Nicholson’s estate lawyers will realize that there’s a waiting public out here, and they can blood-suck the family quite a bit by suggesting they release these primary gems. Anyone else agree? UPDATE: “Day the World Ended” has been released on a double-bill with “The She-Creature”, cheesy but fun. “Day/World Ended” is listed as AIP’s FIRST film! Really suited, too.
