    Choices, choices, choices (50's SciFi)

    I watched When Worlds Collide last night. Which one should I watch tonight?

    Earth vs. the Flying Saucers
    Invaders from Mars
    The Crawling Eye
    It! The Terror from Beyond Space

    Maybe it'll be It! The Terror from Beyond Space. I love these old "B" scifi classics...

    Oh that's easy: "Queen of Outer Space" with Zsa Zsa Gabor. A bunch of cantily-clad women living on the moon!

      Them
      The Thing
      The Creature From the Black Lagoon

      A bunch of space/alien ones with titles that escape. I remember one about aliens with Frank Gorshen. It had a severed alien hand that wrecked havock. Scary fare on Friday night, after the news, when you're ten.

      Or on a higher note

      Forbidden Planet
      The Day the Earth Stood Still

        That's the one where they had needles for fingernails and the needles secreted pure-grain alcohol. Light made them evaporate.

          I remember that one! Thanks for the title, I would have never remembered that but how can you forget brains crawling and leeping about.

          I watched "The Crawling Eye" (AKA The Trollenberg Terror) last night, tonight it's Earth Vs. the Flying Saucers.

            What Jack said.

            Dan
            Master of The Ensign's Gig: a 7 1/2 foot flat bottom plywood skiff,
            and Prudence: Lightning #7896.

            Think Good Thoughts.
            Thoughts become words.
            Words become actions.
            Actions become habits.
            Habits become character.
            Character becomes destiny.

              The Fly, of course.



              The Blob.



              Killer Shrews.







              And if you're looking for real camp, try The Curse of the Faceless Man.

                  I highly recommend it ( for whatever that's worth ) I have memorized their plan to escape the island should I ever find myself trapped on an island by giant rodents.

                    Might not be my favorite, but This Island Earth is on AMC right now!
