Ewwwwwwwwwwww!


Why is that woman so happy to be touching a Gigantic Sea Snail? Worse yet, when it grabs you underwater, It sucks out all of your vital juices and leaves a shriveled up husk in your place! It's on Dvd and is a very fun sci-fi 50s gem!

Do You Have the Nerve to Take Bela's Dare?


Here is the very rare Window Card that would sit in the box office window. In this case, it has a "Dare" by Bela Lugosi to see WHITE ZOMBIE.

Lon Chaney Jr. Stalks Again


When Lon Chaney Jr. starred in his first Sci Fi/Horror based film, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief that soon, very soon he could make the audiences of the 40s say, "That is Lon's Son!" He eventually would play Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster and his greatest perfomance of Horror, THE WOLF MAN. Here is the Lobby card Title card to MAN MADE MONSTER. Here re-titled ATOMIC MONSTER to cash in on the then current Atomic Bomb craze!

Those Fabulous Monster Stomping 50s!


No doubt about it, Ray Harryhausen owned the 50s as far as Giant Creatures on the Loose Movies go. From THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS (1953) on. But, that didn't stop other stop motion animators from practicing their craft. One of the lesser seen epics Is THE GIANT BEHEMOTH (1959). Like the film that was it's "Inspiration", Beast, Atomic Tests disturb a long dormant creature who rises from the Ocean Floor to cause havoc all over London. Makes a great poster. Even greater with artwork by Reynold Brown.
