Wonderfully terrible movies of childhood...

[Judycat]

When I was a kid a movie company came to our town to film a Western. When it finally appeared in the theater we all got to see it for free. It was the definition of terrible.

The shower scene was scary

View attachment 160336

I saw an interview with Janet Leigh. She said Hitchcock rehearsed the shower scene with warm water several times for several days. On the final cut, he substituted ice-cold water to make Janet's shock more realistic. Janet said she never forgave him for that.

Oh, I forgot about "The House on Haunted Hill" with Vincent Price. The scene with the hanged woman outside the window with the rope snaking through the bars and wrapping around the heroine's ankles had me sleeping with a light on at the age of 12. It was magnificently cheesy, though. Typical Vincent Price schtick......

Yeah, that was something. I also liked that walking skeleton.
And Price saying, "My love, you didn't know while you were playing your little game of murder, I was playing too."

I still enjoy some of the comedy thrillers with Abbott and Costello, Leo Gorcey, Edmund Lincoln Anderson aka Eddie "Rochester" Anderson.

Frank and the boys were awful slow movers to catch humans.
The best looking monster of that era was 'the Creature from the Black Lagoon.' [best looking authentic]

they're multiplying.

The "THING"!!!!!

I can't remember the title, but it was about a 50 foot woman, who got zapped in a normal 1950s atomic radiation flick. Bad..........

 

[fuzzybuddy]

OMG. We forgot GODZILLA flicks. I loved the way Godzilla yelled (?).

You don't like large women (size LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL)?
As it's been said, regarding females fifty feet tall, "That's a lot of woman."

"The Tingler" You could see the string pulling the rubber thing across the floor.

Why was the 50 ft Woman so angry?
Gah. This is not a riddle. I just want to know.

 

[debodun]

She had a tough time finding clothes that fit properly, apparently.

She had a 50 ft. headache.

"The Tingler" You could see the string pulling the rubber thing across the floor.

I was going to mention that one..."Scream! Scream for your lives!"

 

[JimBob1952]

On the other hand The Incredible Shrinking Man was actually pretty good.

Why was the 50 ft Woman so angry?

Ovaries as large a watermelons on the rampage.

"The Tingler" You could see the string pulling the rubber thing across the floor.

In our theater, some of the seats were rigged with vibrating devices in the backrest that went off at the "scream for your lives" moment. I didn't have one of those seats, but there was indeed some screaming!

 

[jujube]

Remember when theaters would have "doctors" or "nurses" stationed in the lobby in case the movie scared someone to death? It was a big publicity stunt...."this movie is so frightening, we have medical personnel on hand!"

She Demons -

Awful movie ---- but Irish McCalla was awesome (as usual):

When I was a little kid, I fell utterly in love with her. After all these years, I still feel the same.

my favorite Halloween movie:

Awful but Hilarious!
