Monster from a Prehistoric Planet can most easily be found in packs of other non-Godzilla but Godzilla-like films.

You can find this by itself on a number of different DVD's. Since most people have better sense than to buy them, most of the releases are multi-movie packs.

I got my copy in a 50 pack of “Horror Classics.”

Video:

1.33: There is no widescreen version. The image is very trashy, the colors are thin, and the focus is fuzzy. It appears to be cut off on both edges.

Audio:

1.0 mono: The sound is distorted to the point of making some of the dialogue slightly unclear. There is plenty of white noise and other issues.

Packaging:

This particular disc is housed in a cardboard sleeve contained in a Velcro-fastened box (I believe it's been repackaged in plastic). You can read about the set as a whole in great detail in the Horror Classics (50 pack) guide.

Extras:

There are no extras of any kind.

Other Editions:

They all look the same to me. They list the same specs (discussed above) and make no mention of any remastering or extras.

The only ones that stand out at all are a double-feature that mentions remastering and a 3D version, but further details on either one are scarce.

Final Thoughts:

The quality of the 50 Horror Classics pack isn't much good, but I would be surprised if any of the others offered anything significantly better. Get this one as cheaply as possible because you won't be getting much for your money.
