10 Godzilla films shown in HD on Monsters HD on March 26

From the Monsters HD press release:

The mayhem begins with the Monsters HD production MONSTERS HD TOP 13 COUNTDOWN: GODZILLA’S GREATEST FIGHTS (Sunday, March 26 at 1:30PM), highlighting the top 13 battles in Godzilla movie history. We then move into Godzilla’s 1995 “death” in GODZILLA VS. DESTROYAH (Sunday, March 26 at 1:45PM), wherein the Big G battles the evil Destroyah, a monster created by the same Oxygen Destroyer bomb that first eliminated Godzilla back in 1954. Godzilla then comes up against his evil space twin in 1994’s GODZILLA VS. SPACE GODZILLA (Sunday, March 26 at 3:30PM), followed by a visit from an a gigantic caterpillar in 1992’s GODZILLA VS. MOTHRA (Sunday, March 26 at 5:30PM). Big G reunites with Raymond Burr in GODZILLA 1985 (Sunday, March 26 at 7:15PM) and then Monsters HD honors the Godfather of Godzilla music, the late composer Akira Ikufube, with a symphonic salute to his scores that accompanied many a Toho release in GODZILLA FANTASIA (Sunday, March 26 at 8:45PM). After that, we’re calling Monster Island (come in, Monster Island…) with 1969’s children’s fantasy film GODZILLA’S REVENGE (Sunday, March 26 at 10:15PM) in which a little boy envisions himself as pals with Godzilla’s son, Minya. Next, it’ s a battle to the death with Godzilla and his robotic clone in 1974’s TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA (Sunday, March 26 at 11:30PM). Godzilla’s son, Minya, shows up again in our next feature called (unbelievably enough) SON OF GODZILLA (Sunday, March 26 at 1:00AM) in which the tiny titan battles a giant spider and praying mantis with the help of his dad. As we head into the final stretch of MONSTERS HD’s ZILLA THRILLA THON, we pull out the big monster guns with some of the biggest fan favorites: 1965’s GODZILLA VS. MONSTER ZERO (Sunday, March 26 at 2:30AM) pits Godzilla, Rodan, and Oscar-nominee Nick Adams against King Ghidorah on Planet X followed by 1964’s GODZILLA VS. THE THING (Sunday, March 26 at 4:15AM) gives us the first battle between Godzilla and Mothra. And then we wrap it all up with the film that started it all, 1956’s GODZILLA – KING OF THE MONSTERS (Sunday, March 26 at 5:45AM), with Raymond Burr as intrepid reporter Steve Martin. By the time this marathon is over, you’ll want to destroy Tokyo yourself.
