I was never able to sit thru a double feature. Guess you had to get there early. Even then, I wan't able to sit still for more than the Mickey Mouse Show followed by Superman. Then out to play before the sun went down.
What's really weird is seeing that UPA logo at the bottom. I wonder if they also showed a Gerald McBoingBong cartoon? I first saw the first title on the local TV movie matinee show out of Bangor, ME, I called it War of the Walking Carpets.
Apparently this double feature is from 1970, here's the TV spot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oPksLhW2ms
One of the local stations used to play a week of Japanese monster movies of that era--usually once a year or so. War of the Gargantuas was the best of the lot, IMO. But haven't seen it since I was a kid.

And Brad Pitt was there (probably)!

Must be a rerelease, because Monster Zero wasn't released in the U.S. until '70 or '71.
One film stars Russ Tamblyn, the other Nick Adams. They don't make 'em like that anymore...
Attack of the Sizable Beasts!
