If you stay up extra late on Saturday nights and watch MeTV, you’ve experience the early years of Irwin Allen. He was the producer behind Lost In Space, Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Time Tunnel and Land of the Giants. When his science fiction television shows wrapped up, he became the Master of Disaster with 2 blockbusters that shook the screens. The Poseidon Adventure has an all-star cast trying to escape a capsized cruise ship. The Towering Inferno had an all-star cast trying to escape a burning skyscraper. Irwin Allen wasn’t done showing carnage. He kept making films that showed how people survived all sorts of disasters. These films have been compiled for the Irwin Allen: Master of Disaster Collection Blu-ray boxset that has seven films. Beyond the Poseidon Adventure was the sequel about what happened to the boat when salvagers arrived. The collection arrives in September. Here’s the press release from Shout! Studios:
