The Angry Red Planet: worth seeing for the red color filter and the
giant rat-bat-spider-crab creature and the giant ameoba with one
rotating eyeball!
The Creeping Unknown: First in the QuaterMass Trilogy based on the
award winning British TV series.
The Black Scorpion: Set in Mexico; giant scorpions live in underground caverns. Great effects by Willis O'Brien, mentor of
Ray Harryhausen. The scene where a scorpion strikes a telephone
pole lineman is an alltime classic!
The Giant Claw: a must see for the near zero-grade effects!
Fiend Without A Face: the film with the flying brains.
Others Recommended: The Incredible Shrinking Man; I Married A Monster
From Outer Space; Quatermass II(Enemy From Space); Kronos; The 4-D Man; The Beast of
Hollow Mountain (also set in Mexico with O'Brien effects, creature
is not a T-Rex, rather an Allosaurus; The Brain Eaters: The Original
PuppetMasters, shunned by Heinlen, featuring Leonard Nimoy!; The
Blob-with Steve McQueen,The H-Man (Japanese);Invaders From Mars;
Not Of This Earth; Rocketship X-M; 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.
Of course, you've probably seen Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space.
BTW, I've seen one you like, The Crawling Eye with Forrest Tucker,
decent with suspense, only falters at the end with Z-Grade effects.
- AH
