Monster of Terror aka Die, Monster, Die?

I'm enjoying "Monster of Terror" on Amazon Prime but couldn't remember the title so went to Boris Karloff, the star, to find it under his name. His filmography lists "Monster of Terror" but links to "Die, Monster, Die," with no mention anywhere of alternate titling. I'm assuming that they're the same movie and that there are lots links that could be updated to reflect both titles. I tried to submit an edit but got a message suggesting I return with a reference number, so know I'm not doing the right thing.

Is there a classic horror movie fan who can help out? Both titles are stupid but surely it would be better if we linked the two?

Because you didn't provide URLs, I'm not sure whether you found 2 different listings or not.

When I search for Monster of Terror, I see Die, Monster, Die, and when I go to the release info page (clicked on the year under the title, or use the All Topics menu)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059465/releaseinfo

I see lots of titles, including both that you mentioned.

So... what's your question?

@bderoes​ Well, for starters, when I search for Die, Monster, Die, at https://www.imdb.com/find?q=die%20monster%20die&s=tt&ref_=fn_al_tt_mr I get Monster of Terror. When I use that link https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059465/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_3 it takes me to Die, Monster, Die, with no mention of alternate UK title. When I go to https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000472/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 I get Monster of Terror as the film title, but that link takes me back to Die, Monster, Die. There's no acknowledgement anywhere that these are the same movie under alternate titles. This is the first time I've ever found a discrepancy on IMDB (that I recognize) and for the sake of folks who watch horror movies, shouldn't they be cross-referenced as having alternative titles if they're now streaming under them? And how does one make that happen?

I think this discrepancy between old and new pages is what he says:

display title on release info page (old page tech):

Display title on normal page (new page tech):
Display title on name page (old page tech):
I see a "imdb display title" entry for USA was missing, I added a display title entry for USA now and it appears that fixed the discrepancy.
