Welcome to Halloween Countdown 2017, here, at the Dungeon!.. We're going to try and give you a pile of wild 'n' weird movies and junk for you to enjoy, so, I'll start the show with 10 more movies Tabonga! loves to watch again!
I love THE CRAWLING EYE, it's a unique flick that's always fun to watch again! The monsters are super weird, they like to creep around in freezing radio-active clouds and then rip the heads off puny unsuspecting humans!!
This Howard Hawk production is one of the very best sci-fi movies... Ever!! It is basically flawless in its representation of a Martian super-carrot!
My dad took me to see THE MONOLITH MONSTERS when it came out, can't quite remember the movie is was billed with. Man, what a cool flick this is, the Universal special effects team nailed it! And, this is the only movie monster to be a purely chemical process!
I love to watch IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE every now and then, there is just something special about this movie that makes it so watchable, like, the amazing Xenomorph creatures!
Eegah!! and I saw THE MANSTER when it came out. This flick is so damn insane, it kept us on the edge of our seats the whole time, and, seeing the split at the end was simple indescribable! We loved the Hell out of this one!
THE CRAWLING HAND is so out there, it's freakin' crazy! It stars Peter Breck, Kent Taylor, Rod Lauren, Alan Hale Jr., Allison Hayes, Sirry Steffen, Arline Judge, Richard Arlen, Tristram Coffin and Ross Elliott!!.. Daaamn!
Boy, do I remember seeing ATTACK OF THE MUSHROOM PEOPLE on TV in the early sixties. This is definitely a movie you will never forget seeing for the first time, super creepy and always fun to watch again!
When I'm in the mood for a good laugh, I put THE GIANT CLAW on! This was supposed to be a top shelf production, but when the producers watched the final product, they contemplated suicide!! But, ended up a fan favorite!!
DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS is another movie I like to put on when I'm working on my own monsters. Love Nyah in her sexy space uniform, Chani, the wild looking refrigerator robot and her flying saucer that looks like a child's toy top!
Last on the list is SHE DEMONS, it stars Irish McCalla, who I had a crush on, Tod Griffin, Gene Roth and Rudolph Anders. I think the creepiest part of the movie is when they show the face of Colonel Osler's wife! She was in an atomic lab accident... YOW!!
Tune in on Wednesday when we'll be here with more Dungeon Halloween Cargo!

Excellent group of films. I love Forrest Tucker in sf movies like The Crawling Eye. He always was just very believable even though he pretty much played the same guy over and over. :)
Randall - I totally agree about Forrest, he was perfect for those roles.
A good list (of my childhood TV viewing) of some enjoyable films... "Attack of the Mushroom-People" we have found very little on (and its Asian title "Ma...")... Crawling Eye was cool and It Came from Outer Space was my first favorite Sci-Fi film (before we got to see War of the Worlds or Green Slime...
Cool post and a great week to you guys ... Happy October...!!!
What a great buncha flicks! The only one I don't have is THE MANSTER, so I guess I'll have to visit Amazon and order a copy today. Has anyone seen the new Blu-ray release? Personally, I'd rather just have it on DVD (I'm growing disenchanted with the "double-dipping" aspect of most Blu-ray releases)...
Hi Doc - Great to hear from you, here we go again with another wild 'n' weird October, so, better fasten your seat belt...
Yo Anon - You can find THE MANSTER on the 'Tales Of Terror' 50 movie pack from Mill Creek, pretty cheap!
Thanks! Most of the Tales of Terror copies I found shopping around online were VERY pricey, so I opted for a solo DVD copy of THE MANSTER instead.
Hey, I LOVE that robot in DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS, and watched it with my late dad and we didn't quite know whether to be scared or laugh our heads off. Especially once we learned the robot's name, every time it popped up in a scene, we called out "Heeeeere's Chani!" ;)
I am often scared how close our tastes in movies are.
Every one of these, with the exception of Devil Girl, is a B movie classic.
Sorry but Devil Girl is so bad it knocks Plan 9 out of the top 10 worst movies.
One thing DEVIL GIRL FROM MARS has going for it is that the little boy doesn't play all that big a role. Anyone who doesn't like the kid in a SF movie that the movie goes overboard to MAKE you like - the "Kenny," as the expression goes - would be a little glad about that.
SHE DEMONS is nearly the only one here that I've (maybe) never seen.
Ah, the old "Kenny" trope...very popular among cynics and knee-jerk haters.
