Instead of remaking yet another superheroes movie, maybe Hollywood should concentrate on the B-grade classics. I for one would love to see a remake of the GIANT CLAW. Wouldn’t you?

You have got to consider that movies like this were produced in the era of outdoor movie theaters where less than 50% of the audience actually watched the movie at all. The windows of the car were likely so steamed over that they couldn’t see the movie if they occasionally glanced at it.

I love watching old B movies. Never heard of this one.

You can actually see the fishing line pulling his bottom jaw open. Great stuff!

didn't the news media say that a passenger plane disappeared into a time-space vortex because no other explanation was possible?

I love these old B-grade monster movies. Never saw this one though.

My friends and I in High School used to hit up the outdoor movie theaters back when that was a thing. Wasn’t unusual to find something like this playing.

I actually recall going to the theater to see this when it came out. I thought it was terrible, even as a kid. The only others I recall seeing at the theater earlier were the Ten Commandments, a school trip if you can imagine that today, and Forbidden Planet which is still one of my all time best regarded fantasy movies.

And the leading lady (Mara Corday) who played Sally is still alive!

‘Forbidden Planet’ - one of my all time favorites. When I was in school I ran a video store - played Forbidden Planet every Saturday. The dialog is great.

Definitely one of the best worst movies ever.
Awesome, in a very painful way.

IT’S BIGGER THAN A BATTLESHIP!

Giant Shrews is great too!

I saw that movie when I was very little, and it scared the hell out of me...at that age, it doesn’t take much. I might have been four or five at the most...

It stuck with me for a long time...

...less than 50% of the audience actually watched the movie at all.

I can't say for my older brother and I but I'm pretty sure that my younger siblings are the result of tripple features.

Without getting out of the driver's seat, my Father would stash us onto the roof of his station wagon with a sleeping bag and we couldn't get down until he retrieved us.
