I think those monster double feature re-issues will be Universal's offering.
I thought I read somewhere about CREATURE WITH ATOM BRAIN, GIANT CLAW, THE WEREWOLF from Sony. Could be mistaken.
If WB does anything I'll bet on Dark Shadows double feature.

I did read on Tim Lucas' Video Watchblog, a pretty reliable source, that Sony is readying their Hammer titles for release "later in the year." This could include films like The Gorgon, Maniac, The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, The Devil Ship Pirates, and more.
And now that the Midnight Movie line has been revived at MGM, I am optimistic that Twins of Evil/Vampire Circus will be on the lineup for next summer or fall, even if they weren't chosen this year.

Frankenstein 1970 is supposed to be coming in a box set with some other AA titles.
Also Twilight Zone is due, as is a Night/House of Dark Shadows dbl feature.

No news as to anything from Universal yet, aside from some tired old retreads of the "legacy" horror films, Dracula, Frankenstein...etc. I;d hoped we'd have had news about an Ultimate Sci-Fi Collection Volume Two (but this time, not Best Buy only, please)...but nothing so far...
Nice, but the real goodies this year appear to be the glut of titles from Warner and MGM (owned by Sony and distributed by Fox!)

The box is themed, of course as they are all Sam Katzman productions.

I browsed the Katzman filmography and the two films above seemed to be the only ones that fitted in the box, and I don't recall seeing the ones you mention here.
The box seems to be Katzman and sci-fi-horror-ish themed, presumably for Halloween.

A “Horror Collection” set will include MAN-MADE MONSTER, HORROR ISLAND, CAPTIVE WILD WOMAN, NIGHT MONSTER and THE BLACK CAT (1941). A second “Sci-Fi Collection” set will include DR. CYCLOPS, THE DEADLY MANTIS, THE LAND UNKNOWN, THE LEECH WOMAN and CULT OF THE COBRA. No release date has been set yet, but Best Buy's press contact confirms that the sets will arrive before Halloween with retail prices of around $20 a piece.
