The Brain that wouldn't Die (1962)
After
a car crash, a man keeps his wife's head alive in his laboratory. As if this
weren't enough, an evil beast pounds and screams from a locked room adjacent to
the lab. Alive without a body fed by an unspeakable horror from hell!
A scientist and his girl friend are out driving when his speeding causes a car
crash. He escapes unharmed but she is decapitated. He saves her head, brings it
to his house and keeps it alive (!!!!). He then proceeds to search out models
and strippers for the perfect body for the head. His crippled assistant watches
over the head which starts talking and has a telepathic link to a deformed
monster kept in the closet.
It's madness, not science!
Killers from Space (1954)
Atomic
scientist Doug Martin is missing after his plane crashes while on an
investigatory mission after a nuclear test. Showing up at the base later, he is
given sodium penathol after being caught in espionage activities. He is not
believed as he relates how he was captured by aliens who plan on conquering
Earth by using giant animals and insects. Attack by monsters from another
planet! Strange creatures from another world attack planet earth!
It's a nuclear nightmare!
The Giant Gila Monster (1959)
Only Hell could breed such an enormous beast. Only God could
destroy it! A small town in Texas finds itself under attack from a hungry,
fifty-foot-long gila monster. No longer content to forage in the desert, the
giant lizard begins chomping on motorists and train passengers before descending
upon the town itself. Only Chase Winstead, a quick-thinking mechanic, can save
the town from being wiped out.
This is classic "ancient" cinema, the stuff your parents were supposed to be watching while they steamed up the windows in the back seat of your daddy's Plymouth; and I still think it beats the CGI "blockbusters" being pooped out of Hollywood every year.
Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965)
In
the year 2020, cosmonaut Marcia (Faith Domergue) orbits the planet Venus while
two astronauts and a robot journey on the surface. Professor Hartman (Basil
Rathbone) is also on hand to observe the exploration from a distance. The
explorers are attacked by prehistoric beasts, and then lose their robot (and
nearly their lives!) in a volcanic eruption that engulfs the planet. They
conclude that the Venusians were really human beings who destroyed their
civilization with nuclear warfare. And so man's search for intelligent life on
other planets and in other galaxies will continue. For this is the heart and
meaning of that great adventure - the exploration of the Universe.
