1958's "Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman"...in the end, "she finally got Harry all to herself".
That high-voltage brassiere really put the film over the top...but maybe she was just power hungry...

The 50's Sci-fi horror shows were based on "mutations" from the Atomic Age-now its "Mutations" from pollution.Loved the 50's movies-the old "rubber Suit" days rather than CGI-some of which is rather corny. |

“The Day of the Triffids”? It may have very well been one of those Saturday Afternoon made for Television “Creature Features”. I’ll always remember the ice cream truck with the loudspeaker on top to draw the Triffids closer to the ocean so they could be sprayed down with salt water.
I remembered the part about the loudspeaker on the truck before I posted the link. It’s odd the things we remember as children. I used to have a nightmare as a child about tall black objects growing from the ground, crashing over, and trapping me. It wasn’t until MeTv aired a movie called “The Monolith Monsters” several weeks ago that answered the question about where my nightmare came from. And it only took fifty years for me to find out. It’s funny how impressionable the young mind is. Has anything like this ever happened to you guys? I think this is one reason why repeating old movies is good. Mike - No. Both bodysnacher movies had the same name just different people. “Them” was about giant ants. CLICK HERE TO GO TO beekeyknee's LINK This post was last edited 03/04/2018 at 05:36 |

I was going to say 'Day of the Triffids' - but it was a 1962/63 film, with Howard Keel. Carole Ann Ford appears in it, before she starred in Doctor Who. |

I loved "Earth vs The Flying Saucers." I always wondered why the technologically superior beings, couldn't manage to get the gurgle sound out of their translating device or PA system. "People of Earth, attention; people of Earth, attention." |

How about Target Earth, Not of This Earth and The Crawling Eye?
Target Earth gave me nightmares after watching it on Saturday night's Chiller Theatre when I was a kid. Scary robots from outer space!!! A woman wakes up after taking sleeping pills and the city is deserted. I found it on DVD recently and it is still scary. |

Golittlesport, you reminded me of the Sat night horror flicks. We had the Philco portable TV out on the back porch and me and some friends would do a sleep over and watch the flicks. Great fun. |

I was about four years old when I saw When Worlds Collide at a small town theater. It must have been a double feature with Fire Maidens From Outer Space, because that's the first time I ever heard the Borodin melody that was also the tune borrowed for "Stranger In Paradise". I was enchanted by the melody, and for some reason I associate it with the final scene in When Worlds Collide, and that beautiful pink landscape. Maybe I fell asleep during Fire Maidens and then woke up just in time to see the end of When Worlds Collide...
It wasn't until many years later when I got interested in Russian orchestral music that I realized it was a Borodin composition.
Fire Maidens from Outer Space has been widely panned as perhaps the most boring sci-fi flick ever made...

When I was a kid, our next door neighbor's kid had seen "The Blob" and couldn't stop talking about it. I was a bit mystified since I hadn't seen it. I think I finally saw it on TV about 10 years later, and wondered what the fuss was all about. The special effects were atrocious even for the 50's, but I guess the whole idea of a shapeless murderous mass taking over the world was fresh and new for people who hadn't yet become acquainted with Richard Nixon.
