Since my pals Niall and Cody made comments, I might as well join in! 
I got MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL and am enjoying it very much. I saw these low-budget horror flicks in the 50s when they came out, they were fun films for kids Saturday afternoon at the movies.
I like Albert Glasser Bruce, thanks for putting this score out.
I too am looking forward to THE CISCO KID (TV) and TWO FOR THE ROAD when they arrive.
Keep up the great work Bruce!
I will order Monster From Green Hell along with The Cisco Kid when it comes out. In the meantime I have Two For The Road and Paris When It Sizzles to look forward to! Good work Bruce!

Two more GREEN HELL things:
1. Track 20, "Unused Cue," was originally slated as M-12, meaning it would have appeared between track 1, "Prologue," and track 3, "Main Titles." It seems that it was probably written for a slightly longer edit of the pre-credit sequence, which culminates in the blast-off of a rocket. You will note that the serious beginning of the cue seems to fit the shot of the rocket at the gantry and the last few stabbing brass chords of the cue would have worked very well with the final countdown for the blast-off, "Five, four, three, two, one!"
2. In the film itself, the original Main Title does not appear in its complete form. At about 0:18 into the Main Title, there is a cross-fade to some other piece of music. It sounds like Glasser, but was probably pulled from another film. It's sort of a toss-up whether it sounds like music for an attack by an African tribe or music for an attack by Indians in a Western. It's dubbed in again later in the film.Does anybody know where this hunk of music was pulled from?

Oh wow saw the flick with them giant wasps a cazillion times on TV as a youngster. In glorious b&w. Was it in color? 
Yes, THE CISCO KID TV series was in color. Quite amazing for the early 1950s. (Not sure if every episode was in color.) Everyone in the 1950s only had black & white TVs! So, I saw them when they came out in the 1950s with our small black and white TV. YouTube now has some episodes in color. Check them out. A wonderful TV series with some colorful music scores.
Oops, thought you were talking about THE CISCO KID, see you were talking about MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL. Anyway, those are my thoughts on THE CISCO KID!
RE: CISCO KID in color: I seem to recall the story that although no commercial color TV sets were available when THE CISCO KID was being shot, one of the producers saw that color television would probably be the "next big thing," so he shot all the episodes in color. Even though he knew they would initially be shown only in black and white, he thought that the series might have a longer run in syndicated re-runs if shot in color. He figured that future viewers with early color TV sets, yet with only a minuscule amount of color broadcasts to watch, would flock to CISCO KID re-runs in color as opposed some other show in black and white.

Cisco Kid was not the only show to have the foresight to shoot in color - The Adventures of Superman and The Lone Ranger, and several others did the same thing.

The 1956 TV series JUDGE ROY BEAN starring Edgar Buchanan was also filmed in color. Some of these are on YouTube.
