I watched DAY OF THE ANIMALS recently.It makes a great Sunday double bill with GRIZZLY.

And yeah,the ABBY R1 DVD makes Vipco look like Blu Ray!

Still not watched Girdler's Manitou...

I've only seen Three on a Meathook, Abby, Grizzly, and Day of the Animals.

Are any of the others worth checking out?

DOTA is most enjoyable imo with Leslie Nielsen going potty and topless and wrestling a Grizzly bear! I also remember a squirm-inducing moment where one character observes a plate of food and turns his back for a second. Only to look again and find said sustenance covered by ravenous rats!

Also, my dad took me to the cinema to see Grizzly when i was a kid and another worthy Girdler effort there. Very well shot in widescreen and i once owned the horrendously panned 'n' scanned Canadian DVD from the dawn of the format. Shriek Show's later R1 double-disc set is the better bet by a mile. I recall the scene where the titular beast rips some poor young kid's legs off and the film also boasts brilliant theatrical artwork by legendary comic book artist, Neal Adams.

I have the grey import Abby DVD too and i'm more or less afraid to watch this one based on the negativity surrounding the quality of this release.

The only time i caught TOAM and TM was back in the '90s and my recollections are less than crystal clear. I think i quite liked the former bar an awful sequence set in a disco. I also possess the ABUS DVD of the latter but God only knows when i'll get around to viewing it!:)
