Let's not forget "The Attack of the Killer Shrews", which were dogs with bath mats draped over them. The tip off was when they loped across a field in unmistakeable dog-like fashion.

Ken Curtis (Festus on Gunsmoke) produced this gem and was in it as well. He got the last laugh though: Budget was $123,000 and it pulled in a $1-million in 1962 money.

One of it's tag lines reminded me of my boys when they were teenagers: "They had to eat 3 times their body weight each day... OR STARVE!"

As usual, the cover graphics not anyway NEAR the real thing.

Nicholson was in “Little shop of Horrors” (masochist dental patient!), “The Terror”, and “The Raven” (Peter Lorre’s son! It also had Karloff and Vincent Price in it), all Corman epics.

After thinking about Jack Lewis, I went looking to see what happened to him. He passed in 2009 but I did find a synopsis of his life. He was the co-publisher of Gun World, I had forgotten about that. Here’s the Wikipedia link to his story: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Lewis_(screenwriter).

Hell of a nice guy.

Anyone remember the name of the movie that had Hoover tank vacuum cleaners with radiator hoses hanging off that took over a town?

Giant bone cells that sound like someone sucking a malt through a straw when they get you?

Yep. They were called silicates, or something. Scared my younger sister and I half to death when we were super young. "Island of Terror"... "Terror Island"... maybe?

Thanks! Was in the mood for a silly movie when I saw your comment. “Morons..” is good “Airplane/Space Balls” humour.
