If you love a gorilla suit as much as I do, you should be thrilled with Scream Factory’s announcement of The Universal Horror Collection Volume 5.

The titles included are The Monster and the Girl (1941), Captive Wild Woman (1943), Jungle Woman (1944), and The Jungle Captive (1945).

***NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT***
Get ready for another round of old school chills and thrills. The UNIVERSAL HORROR COLLECTION VOLUME 5 is coming to Blu-ray on June 16th!
Volume 5 of the Universal Horror Collection includes four tales of terror from the archives of Universal Pictures, the true home of classic horror. A mobster’s brain is transplanted into an ape who carries out his revenge in THE MONSTER AND THE GIRL. A mad scientist turns an ape into a beautiful, but deadly woman in CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN. JUNGLE WOMAN, the sequel to Captive Wild Woman, is an eerie thriller with all the danger of wild animals on the loose and a sexy killer on the prowl! And in THE JUNGLE CAPTIVE, a scientist has experimented on re-animating animals … but now he has decided to go one step further and re-animate a human!
Extras are in progress and will be announced on a later date. Pre-order links coming soon on shoutfactory.com and other fine online retailers.
