Good special effects with an excellent looking monster. The photography is good to, the rivalry between the two leading men is fun to watch and Julie Adams is just a knock down gorgeous.

Oct 5 10 2:03 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	From the 5 listed, I picked The Thing, but I think there are better 1950's horror/supernatural films (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Ugetsu, Les Diaboliques.......

And, hey, Christopher Lee with the cape and teeth - hard to beat! "Creature" has never really done it form me, though Julie Adams is a plus! I saw it on the big screen - as a rerelease in 3D - as a teenager, which was cool! "Them" is still a landmark FX achievement - The Classic Big Bug Movie!

Oct 14 10 8:29 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think NIGHT OF THE DEMON was the best 1950's horror film also. This is the second thread going which ignores Night among 1950's sci-fi or horror films for some reason. *of the listed group, THEM is the best movie, but only a fringe horror film. More sci-fi, so I suppose I would go with THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD from this group. Last Edited By: atenolol Oct 15 10 12:20 PM. Edited 2 times.

Oct 14 10 2:33 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I voted for one of the listed choices -- but none of my favorite '50s horror flicks (CURSE OF THE DEMON, NIGHT OF THE HUNTER, LES DIABOLIQUES, more) were on the list!

Oct 14 10 8:45 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	For me, on this list, it was a toss-up between THEM! and The Creature. I went with THEM! Links To All The Classic Monster Stills I've Posted: http://monsterkidclassichorrorforum.yuku.com/topic/30758
