Chas, Thanks for the information. I haven't heard of "Eight Legged Freaks" but should it come to my local crackerbox multiplex I'll probably give it a miss and...
Yeh, "Tarantula" was the best! I still remember seeing the newspaper ad as a kid...and I was too scared of what might be in the movie so I never saw it until...
Just an additional bit of trivia: In one of the latest "Entertainment Magazine" pieces about upcoming summer movies, it's revealed that the first working title...
Chas, I think you've hit upon a good idea, and I would include science- fiction, horror, and peculiar films which are apt to get little other promotion. Being...
One odd movie that I've spent a lot of time looking for is "Vampyre" (I think that's the spelling.) I found this movie back in the 80's on a cheap (couple of...
Eight Legged Freaks "NEW" theatrical trailer has been cut and it's better than the two previous teaser trailers! I three quaters of a work print, the CGI work...
What are the 10 Best Monsters of the movies? (I know this question is purely a matter of taste, but I'm interested to learn what everyone prefers.) 10.Gwangi...
Very good choices all, but may I put forward, in no particular order, another ten fearsome faves (each with a reason why)? ****The ants in THEM (Actually, it's...
Howdy Kids! Back from the dead, I am. Here's my picks. PEACE! 10) Gwangi (always loved this guy, and hunted to find the occasional airing when I was a tyke....
I saw the poster for Eight-Legged Freaks the other day, and I must say I am beginning to look forward to this one. A classic giant- monster movie for the...
I probably have what some would consider peculiar tastes, so I'll make no defense for these being "best" films, just ones I enjoy. 10. Werewolves on Wheels...
I got to see this one the other night on AMC. I really liked a lot of it. It wasn't quite as episodic in its composition as House of Frankenstein, and the idea...
<p>HOUSE OF DRACULA may be the last--and least--of Universal's Frankenstein series and the weakest of the monster rallies, but I'm rather fond of it, too....
Thanks to AMC, I was able to finally catch the movie which has graced the club as club pic for months. At least I'm pretty sure this is the one. Bert I. Gordon...
Dean, Without question, THE SPIDER is my favorite Bert Gordon movie. It might even have been good if anyone else had done the special effects, but it has lots...
I'm already a fan of this grasshopper epic. The giant bugs on the two- dimensional images of (I guess) Chicago are a unique solution to the staging of this...
Just bought this flick tonight while perusing the shelves at my local Mediaplay. I hadn't watched it in years. I forgot how good it was. I remembered...
Dean, My favorite sequence in 'Earth vs the Spider' is the one in which the beast is apparently dead and its corpse is in the gymnasium at the high school....
I made the mistake last night of staying up late to watch a film on USA titled "Marabunta," hoping it was an adaption of the classic short story "Larigan...
I have a weakness for Charlton Heston's scene chewing and I've enjoyed The Naked Jungle a couple of times. There is something terribly frightening about the...
Dean, Charlton Heston has made a surprising number of horror/sci-fi films for an actor who was once highly regarded, and he made them when he still had most of...
I saw this modern monster movie just the other day, and all in all I was rather entertained. It ain't a great movie by any stretch of the imagination, but it...
Dean, I finally got to see some of the saturation ads for 'Eight Legged Freaks' last weeks but it is unlikely I'll have a chance to see the film when it...
I don't remember the sound being too oppressive, but they did get one neat sound trick off, when at one point they used the stereo gimmick to locate a spider's...
After many years since I've seen it, I at last caught this classic western vampire thriller on AMC the other morning. Eric Fleming is as resourceful as I...
Hi there. This is one of the very few western/horror hybrids I'm aware of. I can add Shadow of Chikara, Teenage Monster and Campfire Tales to this off the top...
Iain, You might try to find a copy of 'Grim Prarie Stories' from director Wayne Coe. The anthology format film is very impressive, more so for its framing...
Yes, Dean, the film isn't a classic but it should be remembered for trying something different at a time when genre-bending was just about never considered....
