Beware of the Crab. Pretty bad movie back then.
Oh those old 1950s B grade scary movies.

I get my weekly '50s B movie fix Saturday night watching Svengoolie.
Of course if I can't wait 'til Saturday I can get my "fix" on Youtube. Here's one I need to watch:

I liked the 1989 remake of The Fly, with Jeff Goldblum. It had some funny parts.

One of my favorites is The Killer Shrews. Doberman Pinschers running around draped in fuzzy bath mats.
Or you have Day of the Triffids, which actually wasn't that bad of a movie if you can discount the feet in tennis shoes you can see under the walking-haystack-like Triffids.

I was going to embed a YT vid here (The Brain from Planet Arous) and now the embed function is not working. I made sure to use SF's "Media" button above and made sure I copied You Tube's *embed* code but when I came back here to post it, it kept asking for the URL instead of the *embed* code. So can we not embed vid's here anymore? Or maybe it's that particular YT vid that's got the problem?

The Brain from Planet Arous made a big impact on me as a kid. Here is a version on Vimeo:

This movie is off topic since it's from 1967, not the 50s but I love it so much--it's a great movie--but never get to talk about it much:
(I figured out what I was doing wrong, btw: I forgot that SF doesn't want YT's embed code, it just wants the vid's URL and will embed it anyway as long as we use SF's *media* button; I need to make me a note of that, can't remember nuthin' anymore,
)

Fun trivia fact I just learned about RHPS: Hilary Farr from HGTV's Love It or List It show was in RHPS; she played the character Betty Munroe; I've looked and looked at photos from the movie but didn't see her.

The spaceship crew often consisted of a man and a woman that would fall in love, the woman's father and a technician that wore a baseball cap and spoke like he quit high school.

I used to see a lot of werewolf movies in a small town where I lived. Here is one with a very young Michael Landon who later became famous in Bonazana, Little House On The Prairies and Highway to Heaven. He died at an early age.

This is another one of my faves:
There were all (kinda) wearing baseball caps in some scenes of this one; and remember the technician who was making moonshine out of rocket fuel?

One of my favorites.
I was into the old Godzilla movies and I like most of the new ones, too.
Also into old Frankenstein and vampire flicks.

This was my favorite and the only one that ever scared me:
I was almost afraid to look when it came into the room.

Ditto John. I was 4 when this was on one night. I started crying and ran from my room petrified! 
My Dad consoles me with "It's only a movie."
