I have a large enough collection that from time to time, I like to try and experience the viewing pleasures of cinema gone by. As a result, I usually take two films that were originally paired together upon their initial release and view them as a double feature. I wonder if anyone else indulges in this habit?  If so, here is a list of double-features that are available either on DVD, Blu-ray, VHS or the internet in some form to make viewing possible.

Please feel free to add to the list any ones that I may have missed! :)

There is actually an existing trailer for the Hyde/Fu Manchu/Vampire triple bill courtesty of MGM. They owned the Paramount version of Hyde when they did their own version in 1941 so this would've been official.

Monster movies are like pizzas...there's no such thing as too much cheese.
