Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957)
Directed by Roger Corman Starring Richard Garland, Pamela Duncan and Russell Johnson

A team of scientists studying the effects of radiation on the flora and fauna of a remote Pacific island mysteriously disappear. A back-up team arrives to investigate and finds the island is being wracked by inexplicable seismic shocks. When members of the new team begin to vanish, the remaining scientists are plagued by the disembodied voices of their missing colleagues commanding them to go to a cave deep within the island. Intrigued, the team heeds the instructions and, once there, are shocked to find giant, radiation-mutated psychic crabs that are responsible for both the disappearances and the earthquakes. Plus, as an added bonus, they want to take over the world! This movie is a perfect example of the kind of low-budget, Z-grade drive-in "trash" that Roger Corman was infamous for. Everything about it screams "fast and cheap." The crab creatures themselves look like bad papier-mâché, the dialogue is ham-fisted and wooden, and the acting and directing are uneven and frequently laughable. Even the editing is questionable, with no eye toward continuity (Actors often appear to be wearing different outfits from shot to shot!) and, strangely, scenes that appear to end mid-conversation sometimes before the end of a sentence! From this description of the film, it sounds very much like something worth skipping but that's very far from the truth! "Attack of the Crab Monsters" is definitely the best of the very worst. It's so bad, you probably won't pay much attention to the actual story because you'll be too busy noticing all the flaws and laughing hysterically! This movie is definitely not to be missed!

"Nighty-Night!"
In honor of "The Late Night Double Feature," we present a double dose of scary movies with "Night" in the title: name them!
1. (1933) The heirs to a family fortune are required to attend a seance at the spooky old family mansion. However, throughout the night members of the family are being killed off one by one. Bela Lugosi stars.
2. (1942) A rich recluse invites the doctors who left him a hopeless cripple to his desolate mansion in the swamps as one by one they meet horrible deaths. Bela Lugosi stars in this one, too.
3. (1957) A paranormal psychology symposium, a devil cult leader and a cursed parchment. Spooky stuff, starring Dana Andrews.
4. (1958) An astronaut is killed on reentry to Earth, but his body is seeded with rapidly gestating aliens. Roger Corman directs.
5. (1959) A phony spiritualist gets more than he bargained for when he actually raises the dead. Tor Johnson stars are "Lobo," no relation to Mike Mason's character in "The Monster of Phantom Lake."
6. (1962) A skeptical college professor discovers that his wife has been practicing magic for years and forces her to destroy all her magical charms and stop the foolishness. Sounds like the plot to the TV series "Bewitched," but it isn't. Janet Blair stars as Samantha Stevens...uh, I mean Tansy Taylor.
7. (1964) A woman is haunted by recurring nightmares, which seem to be instigated by her late husband who supposedly was killed in a fire. William Castle directs a talented cast that includes Robert Taylor and Barbara Stanwyck.
8. (1966) A scientific expedition to Antarctica discovers unusual tree specimens. After they're shipped to a south seas Navy base and thaw out, they become killer, acid-secreting monsters that live by night. Mamie Van Doren stars.
9. (1967) While mainland Britain shivers in deepest winter, the northern island of Fara bakes in the nineties. Are aliens to blame? The legendary horror duo of Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing star.
10. (1968) One of the all time classics: A group of people hide from zombies in a farmhouse. George Romero directs. Need I say more?
