Got a fav classic B horror flick?

Watched 2 of mine in the last week.

Attack Of The Crab Monsters, a B&W Corman flick on a shout Factory triple feature 2 DVD set. Best I've seen this movie look so far. It has an early Russell Johnson later from Gilligan's Island oddly playing a very similar role. Premise is several folks are on an island that is somehow getting smaller and smaller. Yes crabs are involved.




The other is the fairly well known The Brain That Wouldn't Die on an MGM Timeless 4 play single DVD. This version is by far the best I've seen of this movie. How can you not love a talking head sitting in a tray in a crazed doctor's basement lab where a mindless thing of pieced together body parts behind a locked door conspires with the head to reek revenge? Lot's of popcorn was needed for this one. I love it.

 

this came to mind:War Of The Colossal Beast also hundreds of others...

 

Man, I love that flick!

 

Dementia 13

 

I'm with Matt -- those are terrific, awful movies.

My personal favorite are the William Castle films, particularly House on Haunted Hill, 13 Ghosts, and The Tinger. Man, those are great bad B-films. I often use those as examples of bad movies that I really love, probably because I saw them at just the right time as a kid, on late-night TV. (I'm not quite of the generation that could've seen them new in theaters.)

Ya gotta love the idea of a B&W movie where only the blood is red...



It's a color correction scare!

 

Castle accomplished so much with so little. The Tinger. who would've thought, Mr. Price on LSD???

 

me too! I fondly remember waiting for it to show up on Saturday afternoon TV back in the 1960's...also love The Amazing Colossal Man. I was thrilled to find it on DVD, but IIRC TACM is not on DVD?

 

I have a region 2 DVD, but IIRC it is not widely available no USA release .

 

yup, and that sucks!

 

"The walls! THE WALLS!" Great scene:

 

A few of my favorites...

Them
The Deadly Mantis
The Screaming Skull
The Crawling Eye
Reptilicus (if ever a movie deserved an MST3K treatment it's this one!!).
Invasion of the Saucer Men (scared me as a 9 year old, funny as hell now), with Frank Gorshin.

 

Oh man, the skeleton.....I laughed so hard I started to cry!

 

From a later era, I've enjoyed:

Horror Hospital
Squirm
Motel Hell
Basket Case

 

That is some fine stuff there! Haven't seen Invasion of the Saucer Men on DVD yet AFAIK.

 

Mr. Sardonicus
The Night Walker

 

Wasp Woman
The Angry Red Planet
Werewolves on Wheels

 

I really do like "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" but any footage of Roger Corman in the flesh gives Me the creeps. Just sayin'.

 

Not really "horror" (sci-fi maybe?), but have you ever seen 1965's "Incubus" ? William Shatner in the only feature film shot using the "International Language" of Esperanto!

 

Night Walker, not seen that in some time. Love it, have to pull it out for a viewing.

 

At Midnight I'll Take Your Soul (1964). An extremely atmospheric film.

 

The Angry Red Planet, very slick flick.

 

Oh, and besides William Castle, mention really should be made of Ed Wood. "Glen Or Glenda" is one seriously weird movie - and "Plan 9" - that's the benchmark for craptacular!

 

Hmmm...can't say I've ever seen that.

 

I "think" Plan 9 ranks as a D flick. Jes saying.......
