I've been trying to find out the name of a horror movie I remember watching on Sir Graves Ghastly one Saturday. The creatures were green with very large red mouths. It isn't Attack of the Leeches. I remember a scene where a car is driving on a lonely road. In the headlights the driver (a male) sees about three or four of these creatures shuffling towards the car. I know, it probably sounds like a million movies from that era, but this one scared the bejeezus out of me as a kid. It was poor quality and was old even in the sixties and/or early seventies. I would really appreciate help on this one. | ||

Well, until somebody comes up with the real answer, Marilyn Manson will do.  | ||

I think those things injected pure alcohol into the victim's neck...one scene had some drunk cows. They were definitely green things. And I cannot recall the name of the damn movie. | ||

Try www.SirGravesGhastley.com, it gives you the movie title, date, etc. Maybe that will jog your memory. | ||

The Horror of Party Beach? Attack of the Eye Creatures? The Slime People? I'd say those are the most likely. | ||

The Slime People! Wow, mystery solved. Thanks, Guys. I knew you could help me out. *hugs* | ||

The movie aired on Sir Graves Ghastly June 14, 1975. | ||

All who write about the movie mention the fog that arrives before the creatures. Yep, this is exactly the movie.  Which scary movies from your childhood frightened you? | ||

Those old B movies are fun to watch. Even more so on "Mystery Science Theatre 3000." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =w-jfZ2Itz6E&feature=PlayList& p=396A1CB5B0885CFC&index=0&pla ynext=1 | ||

MST is fun, but most of the time I prefer my movies without comments. A few years ago I went to this movie showing. The Ghoul was there and narrated the film. He was pretty funny. A real sweetheart, too. I treasure the pic I had taken with him. | ||

Find "Fiend without a Face" a fantastic fifties flick.  Scared me as a kid. | ||

"Carnival of Souls" from 1962 has a cult following. Some creative stuff too for a low budget flick...sometimes it gives you "Twilight Zone" chills. | ||

Lodgedodger- Check out " The Thing Frome Another World " the 1951 original. This is one of the best Sci-Fi flicks I've ever seen. | ||

Will do, Philbo! Thanks for the heads-up. *hug* | ||

Please excuse the topic drift, but a former boss of mine was in Fiend without a Face. Terry Kilburn. He ran Meadow Brook Theatre out on the O.U. campus for about 25 years. He was also Tiny Tim in the 1939 Christmas Carol - another sort-of horror flick! | ||

Jimg: the movie with the aliens' fingernails injecting alcohol into cows and teens was/is: Invasion of the Saucer Men. Awesome. Who's gonna listen to drunk teens in a small town? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00 50545/ (Message edited by ptero on March 06, 2009) (Message edited by ptero on March 06, 2009) | ||

Wow, thanks Ptero! One of my faves, along with "Day of the Triffids" and "Fiend without a face! What is the name of the film with flying bats that cover your head and commit murder? | ||

So, is it considered child abuse in today's world to start showing these movies to pre-teen nephews and nieces? They've never watched a Godzilla movie! | ||

Ptero, which character was your former boss? Did he/she get 'fiended'? | ||
Ptero Member Username: Ptero Post Number: 195 Registered: 12-2005 |
He was Capt Chester (had to look at imdb.com). He and a few other soldiers ran through a shot firing guns, handguns. That's about all I remember. Claim to fame: running and firing a gun! Could be painful but I need to see it again. Thomas Video in Clawson has moved to a new location. So I hear, around Rochester and 14 mile. Chances are they'll have it. hmmm. | ||

In my household, we live without cable television and we are doing okay. We recently purchased the DTV boxes for TV's with antennas. On Sunday nights I watch a program called OFFBEAT CINEMA hosted by a cool cat named Maxwell Truth. He and his crew of beatniks show old movies from the early fifties and some before that. I watched Bucket of Blood two weeks ago and it brought back memories of my childhood, not that I ever had a bucket of blood, but..... | ||

Is Offbeat Cinema on in the Detroit area ed ? What channel ? Just DTV boxes here, too. Thank God, and WDIV, for that movie channel they provide. Daytime TV was way too much of Maury and Springer, and not enough intelligent shows for adults. PBS should make one of their channels all Nova, Frontline, and Masterpiece theatre reruns, during the day. One PBS kids channel is enough. (Jumping off of soap box), Sorry for the thread jack. |
