The Classic Horror Film Board-THOSE AMAZING ADS IN THE BACK OF OUR COMIC BOOKS!
Back in the Baby Boomer days, young people didn't have cell phones and video games to do all their creative thinking for them.

The Classic Horror Film Board-Satellite in the Sky - (1956 England)
61850 I would love to have a good DVD of this movie in Cinemascope and color. Unfortunately, the only DVDs I've ever heard of were horribly chopped-up, grainy, fullscreen, B&W versions that robbed this unique movie of the joy it should be providing eager sci-fi fans who have, by God, seen everything else from the 1950s absolutely to death. Is there any source on this poor, backward planet called Earth which provides a proper DVD of this "lost classic"?
The Classic Horror Film Board-THE MAGNETIC MONSTER last night on TCM
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: 3,4841,382 4,254120 4,007828 It's a fave of mine, too. It's not your usual '50s BEM movie - I'll say it was pretty close to real science fiction. One of the interesting lines was when Carlson said something like "It's creating matter from empty space".

The Classic Horror Film Board-The Atomic Submarine (1959)
I was surprised to learn that the CHFB didn't have a thread for this movie! So . . . I'm starting one! ____________________________________________________ Two things make it hard for me to enjoy this bargain basement science fiction film, even though it's not without some imagination. (1) All the submarine interiors look exactly like what they are: sets with three walls, a few pieces of furniture, and some lockers. Submarines aren't made that way — and I just love submarines.
The Classic Horror Film Board-BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE (1959)
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: 3,87233 I've posted a story about one of my favorite sci-fi films of the 1950s, with a great behind-the-scenes photo, on my blog at THE GOOD, THE BAD AND GODZILLA, so please check it out. The film screens in San Francisco on Thursday, March 20, as part of "The Monsters Mass Destruction: A Tribute of Eiji Tsuburaya" at Landmark's Clay Theater.
The Classic Horror Film Board-Journey to the Seventh Planet
Was the language of the non-American actors in this movie dubbed to English? It seemed to be a small studio or small quarters for the "Uranus" exploration? Anyone know which studio did this movie? 17K1,284 I always found it puzzling how they could land on the surface of a gas giant.....if Uranus had a solid surface at all it would be down so deep below the gas atmosphere that pressures would crush the ship.
The Classic Horror Film Board-FIEND WITHOUT A FACE (1958)

The Classic Horror Film Board-test
I saw this movie in 1962 at the East Point theater with my best friends, Jimmy Harmon — seen below while creating a clay monster for one of our joint stop-motion 8mm movies. Neither of us were very impressed. :( The movie has a great cast and an interesting story, but . . . there are no monsters and very few special effects which impressed me at the time, so I felt cheated out of my 35¢ ticket price.

The Classic Horror Film Board-THE WOMAN EATER (1958)
Woman Eater Feb 24, 2007#142007-02-24T10:13+00:00 Wow, what a ridiculous, but fun 70 minutes I spent on this one tonight! A doctor who apparently is obssessed with conquering the mystery of life finds a native tribe that has a tree which eats women and produces serum that brings back the dead. What else is he supposed to do but fall in love with the idea of having a tree like that back home in England?
The Classic Horror Film Board-All Monsters, Aliens, and Robots love Earth Women!
Share with: Link: 270176 In the 1950s it became a standard practice to lure eager young monserkids into theaters by using posters that featured monsters, aliens, robots . . . and women! The Day the Earth Stood Still kicked things off in grand fashion by depicting a giant-size Gort with a firm grip on a gorgeous blond in a pink nightgown.
The Classic Horror Film Board-SKY HIGH
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: 9314 The buzz from my comic geek and film industry pals is that SKY HIGH is the superhero film that FANTASTIC FOUR was supposed to be. They say it's made with a smart KNOWING script, superb casting, super direction and it really is fun for kids and adults. Maybe I'll go see that today... Sam F. Park This isn't a superhero movie; it is a standard high school comedy with superheroes.
The Classic Horror Film Board-The Naked Jungle (1954)
This rousing adventure/romance is from the man who brought us Destination Moon, When Worlds Collide, War of the Worlds, Conquest of Space, The Time Machine, and Atlantis the Lost Continent! The main character is as tough as Indiana Jones — — but he's as suave as James Bond. The damsel ( . . . in dis' dress . . .

The Classic Horror Film Board-CONQUEST OF SPACE (1955)
Member 1,36349 Okay, Im going off on a space station by myself here, but despite the critical bombasts CONQUEST OF SPACE (1955) generates in most quarters, I found it a highly entertaining 1950s sci-fi movie. In the far future, a group of astronauts are assigned a mission from an orbiting satellite to the moon. At the last second, though, somebody decides, What th heck and they go to Mars instead. Why did I love this film?
The Classic Horror Film Board-THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN (1957)
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: 3,84643 I thought that Glenn Langan gave a superb performance in the Amazing Colossal Man. That as Vincent Price, once said is the most difficult thing to do in filmd. To make the unbelievable believable. And I thought that Mr Langan was very believable in a tough role. And sadly he do did four more films. He deserved better.
The Classic Horror Film Board-The Return of the Jedi (1982) thread
Member 9,070515 This thread might be filled with controversy, since Jedi is a pretty controversial film. I did not like this film when I first saw it, especially the obvious elements for the kids, but in the years my opinion has grown, especially since the new prequels make this thing look like Shakespeare now, to me.
The Classic Horror Film Board-The Giant Behemoth (1958)
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: 9117 Another fave from the fifties for me was the B monster movie the Giant Behemoth(1957), which when you think about the title comes out as the Giant Giant. Anyway, I knew a vhs copy of this movie existed but I had the damndest time finding one. Then I lucked out and found a really good, widescreen version on DVD on ebay. Actually I found quite a few gems on ebay recently.

The Classic Horror Film Board-THE COLOSSUS OF NEW YORK (1958)
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: Member 7,395468 I know this may not be on many people's faves list, but I like it. The robot-giant makes for some good nightmares. It strikes me as a very eerie film, due in large part to the unusual score by Van Cleave (Who is this guy? What other film scores has he done, if any?) All you ever hear is that striking piano music, but somehow it works. What are your thoughts on this film?
The Classic Horror Film Board-THE MAN FROM PLANET X (1951)
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: 4,3684,389 Yeah, I'm asking if it got re-released widescreen, like what happened to Wizard of Oz. 4,000816 Looks like Bill Schallert, doesn't it?
The Classic Horror Film Board-The Abyss - aliens or aquatics?
I've argued with friends about whether or not the creatures living on the ocean floor are alien colonists or a previously unknown indigenous species to Earth. To me, the question is a no-brainer! Hells bells, we've had alien invaders and visitors since the early 1950s! This concept has been done repeatedly for half a century?
The Classic Horror Film Board-The Creation of the Humanoids (1962)
After watching this DVD last night I've found this film hauntingly amusing but not without some merits as a motion picture. Overall, in my opinion, its a heavy handed political messages coated slimly in a science-fiction motif that leaves a viewer engrossed and disappointed. To me the best thing about most science fiction of the 50s, even the worst science fiction of the 50s, is completely here in this film.
The Classic Horror Film Board-TARGET EARTH (1954)
We've updated our Privacy Policy and by continuing you're agreeing to the updated terms. Share with: Link: Caught this one again on "The Tube" and found it to be enjoyable in a 50's kinda way. Last time I'd seen it was on Saturday afternoon TV when I was seven and it scared the green slime out of me. Yeah, that robot suit is corny, but I suppose they only had so much money to work with. Goes to show talent doesn't come cheap.
The Classic Horror Film Board-FLIGHT TO MARS (1951)
Sorry if there's a thread for this but I certainly can't find it.It's been a while since I've seen it and it might be somewhat of a snooze fest Sci/Fi soap opera, but lets' just take a gander at some stills.... I love the juxtaposition of fashion in this shot. It's like Buck Rogers meets Destination Radar Men from the Moon. I think he sets are clever and imaginative Martian romance... Action packed! Hell, all these stills make me appreciate it that much more.
