I didn’t know he was alive, he must have been pleased at the modern fame he achieved in recent decades.

RIP. I may have to scare up some of his movies. The last thing I saw of him was his cameo in “Apollo 13.”

Two of his films I enjoyed were “The Wasp Woman,” and “Bloody Mama.” R.I.P.

Famous for always being under budget and ahead of schedule. A rarity in Hollyweird.

The end of an era. So many great weirdo movies done only because he could make them fast and cheap.

A great atomic age movie, and telepathic intelligent crabs, just like you imagined them. I love the futuristic stylistic opening credits.
But "It conquered the world" with lee van cleef and peter graves is one of the scariest films I remember from the 60's drive in.
And "creature from the haunted sea" is the funniest.

MST3K riffed quite a few of Corman’s movies. “Viking Women” might be my favorite.
