OT Monster movies

"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" - a VERY young George Clooney was in either this or one of the sequels I think (?)

Bad as it was it became a cult hit and spawned at least two sequels. I think it has a claim to the "official" title of Worst Movie Ever Made lol

I guess the closest thing to a horror movie I have ever seen would be Willard or Ben because I don't watch them. Most of you here probably don't even remember those two movies. They were about rats.

I can't say I actually watched any "bad"movies - I usually just zap on to something else LOL

that said my worst monster movie experience was when I was watching arachnophobia the bit when the spiders crawl out...

just before that bit I had gotten my cardigan off the balcony where it had been drying and put it on

then in the film the spiders came crawling out...

and a spider crawled out of my cardigan pocket onto my hand

to say I screeched is putting it mildly LOL

and I am the type who will quite happily pick up a bird eating spider - even now!

Probably "Dracula's Dog."

I have some candidates, but can't remember the names! Probably because they were in Japanese.

At first, I thought you wanted to know the scariest horror film. Nothing ever scared me quite as much as seeing the Portrait of Dorian Grey when I was about 8. Roberta in D

George was in the Return of the Killer Tomatoes!

He is so handsome! If only I were 20 years younger! LOL

I remember seeing him as a VERY baby-faced boy in one of those Tomato movies lol

Yes he's cute, but give me Sean Connery any day. I don't care if he is 70, those eyes are just too much, and his voice . . . . .

ohhh yes.. Sean Connery! the older he gets the better looking IMO and who cares if he *is* twice my age LOL

Plan Nine from Outer Space has to be the worst movie ever. It starred Bela Lugosi, but he died during the filming, so his DENTIST plays half of the role because he was the one they found who fit the cape. BAD acting, HORRIBLE script, PITIFUL special effects. This movie is so bad tha the Mystery Science Theater 3,000 folks refused to lampoon it--it was too easy a target.

Ah, the Portrait of Dorian Grey - now theres a fabulous film... with a horribly young Angela Lansbury singing "Goodbye Little Yellow Bird..."

I could watch it over and over - its not horror at all!

My vote goes to (apart from Arachnophobia - don't even go there...) to The Wicker Man...

Do you mean "Zoltan, Hound of Dracula"?

When DD3 came out of her Barney and Lion King Phase, she went directly into a "My Friend Flicka" and Zoltan phase. She actually wore out both video tapes.

Confession, I see the name Band on a film, either Albert or Charles, and I feel compelled to watch it. (Albert did Zoltan) I am a total Full Moon Video junkie, I own a copy of what is probably one of pater Band's best known films (I Bury the Living) besides lesser known things like Zoltan.

Am I the only person in the world who thinks that Charles Band must have been traumatized by a dolly when he was little? (Dolls, the whole Puppet Master series, Demonic Toys, Ragdoll, Dollman, Blood Dolls, etc etc)

They remade Willard a couple of years ago. I remember the ads for the original and for Ben. I never saw either, and had haven't run across them at the video store. My mom would have thrown herself bodily over the doorsill to keep me from going to a movie with a higher than G rating. I was naught but

10 when Willard came out, and totally not allowed to see GP movies. (G)

I'm with Monique; 'Plan Nine from Outer Space'. Our library has it on DVD. 'Real' horror movies are too horrible for me, but that one is special. Lee

There are a lot of bad monster movies so I don't think any of them can really claim the title of worst.

Plan 9 from Outer Space

with it'schanges from day to night, and rainy to dry weather , and then backagain, all in one scene is funny. IIRC this was the last movie BelaLugosi was filmed in because he died during the early filming. It Came From Outer Space has somegreat over-acting, the ever popular "woman who screams in terror atthe drop of a hat", and an alien too ugly to show on-screen. Warning from Space has aliensthat look like giant inflated cyclops starfish. Cosmos: War of the Planets hasfunny red hats on everybody, bad music, and even worse space walks.It's just too funny when the astronaut is sounding like he is in painfrom battery acid dripping onto his space suit even though the suitsupposedly won't be corroded through for three minutes. The specialeffects are amazingly bad. It's worse than Plan Nine. Videodrome could be the worstbecause it can be summed up by the sentence "It's not live, it'smemorex." It is so bad that it isn't even a fun romp to laugh at. Debra in VA See my quilts at

I nominate Hush, Hush Sweet Charlotte with Bette Davis. It must be watched with your chair backed into a corner so nobody can sneak up on you. Polly

I just checked at Netflix and the remake of Willard is there, bad reviews but some say better than the original. I don't believe it will go in my que. Once is enough.

Say you were 10 at the time? I was 16 when it was first released but probably didn't see it until I was 17. My mother took me to the first R rated movie I ever saw and it was The Graduate, I can't believe they now show it on TV and it was rated R when I was a kid. Guess times have changed a lot.

There is one totally terrifying 15 minute movie that involves a little wooden statue and one woman in an apartment. The statue wears a little chain on it's neck, but the chain breaks and the little statue comes to life. It runs rampant trying to kill the lady who tries to defend herself any way she can, including trying to microwave the little beggar. Very fast paced and intense. I haven't the slightest what the name of the film is, but I didn't sleep the night I saw it.

Personally I like my movies a little on the lighter side of life. I'll watch Arsenic and Old Lace any day of the week. Debra in VA See my quilts at

How about The Toxic Avenger (the only superhero from New Jersey)?

Anne > Ok this is the one time of year that I wish I had cable. Polly

Actually the original Wicker Man, the one with Edward Woodward looking

*very* young, wasn't so bad. They got a lot of the pagan stuff spot on

-- like the mother curing the little girl's sore throat with a frog. And of course you have to do that dance naked because jumping over a fire with your clothes on is dangerous :-D Some bits were a bit over the top, even I will admit.

And I hear that the new version, with Nicholas Cage playing Nicholas Cage, is horrid in an entirely different way. But don't get me started on Nicholas Cage ...
