I still recall the car horns blasting in disgust as the "giant spider" motored into view. They should have made it a kit car for the VW chassis.

Night Of The Blood Beast(1958)(DVD) I had hopes all were going to be good. Result: after watching each of these films my "hopes" were completely blown out of the water. Always working

Apr 23 06 4:41 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	*Quote:* THE GIANT SPIDER INVASION. It was the 70`s and I should have known better. I even took a cab to & from the theater to see this junk. LOL rvoyttbots!!! I gotta say you're the only person I've ever heard mention they took a cab to see it. I, like Renfield, saw it at a drive-in back then, and to exemplify my high standards in taste, I recently picked it up on a sci-fi DVD set. ------------------------------- "We'll see whether I'm crazy or not."

Apr 24 06 12:28 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'll try to get back to the original spirit of the thread by mentioning FROGS (1972). One of my earliest horror-related memories, I recall as a 4-5 year old, seeing the ad for this in the paper and riding by the theatre and seeing the movie poster which depicted a human hand dangling from the mouth of a presumably gigantic frog. I was repulsed and fascinated by the thought. Decades later, when I finally caught up with the film on video--not a giant frog in the film! Just an eco-horror flick with normal but pissed reptiles and amphibians wreaking havoc on poor Ray Milland.

I still stand by my list. Cry of The Banshee is Banshee-free, Legend of The Wolfwoman features a barely-there wolf lady and is more about insanity, Creature From The Haunted Sea is more of a crime caper, and The Vampire Happening is pretty much a sex farce. The title My Demon Lover sent my imagination into overdrive as a kid, but it's not at all sexy or scary, just a dopey parody like Teen Wolf.

I saw it originally at the drive-in with some of my kid buddies (we were in grade school) and we all thought it was a big rip-off.

Had a cool cover on the box with a womans face and big burning pentagram.....I was hoping for some type of Exorcist movie or something and instead I got a film where some people talk for what seemed like forever. Im thinking the guy had a gambling problem........I dont know. I turned it off and never tried to watch it again......never made it through the whole movie.

Apr 25 06 10:29 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I bought HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND thinking there would be a really cool giant spider in it, but it was a big let down even if there was a spider in the movie. The whole movie was more concerned about showing annoying screaming bikini girls than actually delivering a good story. I regret buying that one, I must say.

Apr 25 06 12:53 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I was suckered in by the theater (the Riverside Theater in Norfolk, Virginia) showing Frankensteinss Bloody Terror. They had stills from several Peter Cushing Hammer Films displayed but it was that damned Paul Naschy werewolf movie. I was so pissed off! I never went back to that theater again.

Ah but its one unbelievably sleazy early 1960s Eurohorror. Watching it I feel as if I had sneaked into one of the art houses (all the photos in front had those little gold stars like the ones that teachers would use on your report cards in grammar school pasted over the naughty bits) that I saw when I was a kid. As a monster movie its no good but it feels just so darned dirty! opticalguy1954@yahoo.com (Spencer Gill)

The first horror movie I saw at the drive-in! I was all of five years old and in the car with my buddies (we were in our pajamas). There was enough spider monster in it to keep us kids mostly quiet and the parent who drove us, Mr. Johnston, seems to like the all the girls in it. If you've never seen it yet, it is a fun early-Sixties Euro monster sleaze flick. Joe "Renfield" Meadows HORROR-WOOD Webzine http://www.horror-wood.com
