Feeling spunky today. lolz This was a great movie. Sure, it didn’t really try to do anything serious but anything that a movie of this type should have it does. A large lizard is going around destroying things in a country area. A young guy with a fast car must stop the lizard from attackingContinue reading “Giant Gila Monster (1959)”

You’ve got two choices; get shot or put Attack of the Giant Leeches on your resume. Tough one… This might be one of the best examples I can think of for a movie that most people have probably seen at least once, movie fans at least, but nobody can actually remember. It’s one of thoseContinue reading “Attack of the Giant Leeches (1959)”

This movie tried to be a B movie, but it was really just a… wasp movie. “snare drum” This movie was kind of annoying. There was a lot of buzzing and the soundtrack itself bounced between jarring and incredibly quirky with a xylophone. I still remember the first time I saw this movie when IContinue reading “Wasp Woman (1959)”

Looks like Mickey has himself a picnic basket. Don’t look now, but Yogi Bear wants a part of this. Most people now a days probably wouldn’t know this movie exists and that’s not surprising since this is one of those obscure movies that probably should remain forgotten. It’s an O.K. horror movie about a coupleContinue reading “Screaming Skull (1958)”

Rumor has it, they’re still in that same desert to this very day… This movie is about a woman who is captured by an alien and then becomes much bigger, the fifty foot woman. A couple of people go into the desert to search for the alien that the woman says she had encountered andContinue reading “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958)”

This has a strong possibility of being my favorite movie with Karloff, which just goes to show how much consideration I usually gave this horror movie actor. Lugosi all the way… Abbott and Costello have another creature parody with this movie. This is definitely one of the campier movies in the series, maybe due toContinue reading “Abbott and Costello Meet Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde (1953)”

Click, click, kaboom! This movie starts out slow but improves as it goes along. This movie is more of a drama than an action western but the two sequels to this movie would increase the pacing and make things more interesting. That being said, this is a good movie, too, although I might like eachContinue reading “Rio Bravo (1959)”

Here we lay to rest Bela Lugosi’s career and a week later we will be laying to rest Bela Lugosi… What a great way to pretty much finish up the 1950s. After doing a good number of movies from this decade most of which were either pretty good or really worth talking about, we takeContinue reading “Plan 9 from Outer Space (1959)”

Hey there, honey. What’s happening? Vincent Price makes his second appearance in a movie with this blog in a horror movie about a haunted house that is owned by Price’s character where he invites five people to show up to his house for a celebration although it is more like a survival game because noneContinue reading “House On Haunted Hill (1959)”

This was a good movie to review for my 100th blog so far. Nice… Tingler is about a creature that lives inside of people but apparently only manifests itself if the person experiences a considerable amount of fear. We get to our first Vincent Price movie with this blog and it’s a pretty good one,Continue reading “Tingler (1959)”
