Matango (1963) trailer

Also know as "Island of the Mushroom People" or "Attack of the Mushroom People" this movie just absolutely fascinated me as a child. It was common fodder for a Saturday afternoon program called "Creature Double Feature" and I always considered myself lucky when I caught yet another airing of it.

Having just bought a new DVD/VCR combo unit I now know what I am going to christen it with once I locate a copy through inter-library-loan!
