Here’s some more from the director behind Pieces (1982). Slugs (1988), Cthulhu Mansion (aka Black Magic Mansion, 1990) and Endless Descent (aka The Rift, 1990).
The Spanish writer/director of our most recently reviewed film Pieces (1982) has several more wacky films to his credit. Here are The Fabulous Journey to the Center of the Earth (aka Where Time Began, 1976) and Mystery on Monster Island (1981).
Jeff Morrow, star of The Giant Claw (1957), has a few other zany titles to his credit. This Island Earth (1955), The Creature Walks Among Us (1956) and Kronos (1957). We also couldn’t resist posting a clip from Morrow’s aptly titled 1971 opus Octaman.
Mara Corday, co-star of this months CCT feature The Giant Claw (1957), has a few other genre classics in her filmography. Below are the trailers for the giant insect films Tarantula (1955) and The Black Scorpion (1957).
Here’s the trailer for our latest review, Santa Claus (1959). Also included are The Magic Christmas Tree (1964), Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964), The Christmas That Almost Wasn’t (1966) and Santa’s Magic Fountain (1961).
