Great job compiling this important information, Rick. The Screen Gems Shock TV Packages played a major role in introducing the horror film classics (and some lesser efforts as well) to the baby boom generation, and led the way to the monster craze of the 1960s. That decade would see a proliferation of monster magazines, model kits, TV horror hosts, etc.

Thanks, Tim. The packages definitely played a very important role for the Baby Boomer generation who grew up with them and even the older folks who only saw some of the films in theatrical release. It'd be nice to see the DVD releases of more of them in the future and resyndication on TV.
