Attack was on maybe once a year when i was growing up on the Million Dollar Movie. Another great one was The Giant Behemoth. I have them both on CD now.
They never ever show Day of the Triffids anymore. I guess i have to go find that as well.
An old favorite! Sure brings to mind the cozy atmospherics of staying up late, watching it on a late-show, off of some rinky-tink UHF station. I even bought a dvd copy of it a few years back, just to have it handy. Yeah, it’s cheesey, full of flaws, and done on a miniscule budget. But in some ways, it’s really not ‘that’ bad (a la some Ed Wood opus). In fact, it had a few somewhat effective chills and disquieting moments.
I used to live those as a kid, but I could never understand how Tokyo got rebuilt in a week just to have Godzilla smash it to pieces again the next week.
Here it is on the internet if anyone wants to watch it all of these movies are Public Domain so you can download them or what ever you want to do. Lots of other free movies at this link.

Me too — Saturday Creature Feature. LOL.
There was a Japanese version on the “Blob.” What was the name??? Can't remember.
Anyway, I remember a foamy remnant of the human with a pile of clothing. Lol.
The list of movies is long. A great show and great times as a kid.
Pick thru these Public Domain movies I am sure you will find a few you like!

I thought this was a review of “The View”.
The bigger question was why even *bother* to rebuild it?
Then they went totally hokey and had Godzilla “go all nice” and defend them against ~other~ radiation-induced monsters.
Even as a kid I was like “WTH?!?”.
;D
Anybody here remember “Reptilicus”?
It gave me a fear of people drilling into glaciers for a long time....LOL
Yep, the set was pretty depressing- only Ralph Kramden’s apartment was more sparsely furnished. And the shrew hiding under the stairs in the basement was pretty scary. And I loved the shrew sound they made.
Yes, another classic. Wasn't there a caveman? Remember the joke about the caveman flushing the toilet? Lol.
“Teh Brob”?
Trivia. Ken Curtis was the son in law of Ward Bond and was his pallbearer along with John Wayne,Terry Wilson and Frank McGrath
Oh, and Ward Bond left the shotgun that John Wayne accidently shot him with, to Wayne in his will.
Attack of the Killer Shrews? It sounds much like watching, The View, on US television.
Joel and the bots make the hurting less deep:

Sam Elliot *and* malevolent frogs?
What more do you need?
Hello?
Sam Elliot *and* malevolent Salamanders!
Funny how prolific the Japanese were with their SciFi movies in the 50s and 60s. Wonder if disasters, natural and unnatural, are inspirations for disaster movies.
