Some of my favorite monster movies as a child.

"War Of The Gargantua's" better translated, "War of the Frankensteins" (Trailer)

Jason & The Argonauts (1963 Trailer)

Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) (Trailer)

Wolfman (Trailer)

The Old Dark house (Trailer)

King Kong, Godzilla originals any Boris Karloff (Edgar Allen Poe)

Do you have any favorites?

 

[Parable]

LOVE The Wolfman (Wolf Man?). Of course the other Lon Chaney is a fav too.

Anything Harryhausen is well worth seeing imo, especially now that there's so much CGI/AI out there. Jason & the Argonauts has a great scene with Talos. Can see how creepy audiences at the time would have thought that was.

Invisible Man, Dracula, Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein. All the OG's.

Also all the bad stuff that MST3K/Rifftrax covers. So bad, but so hilarious.

I enjoyed Journey to the Center of the Earth. Also, Jason & the Argonauts. I like the scene of the giant metal walking statue who gets the plug pulled from the Achillies heel and all of his juices flowed out and he fell apart. The fighting skeleton scene was good too.

I remember another one.


One Million Years BC / Original Theatrical Trailer (1966)

 

[Dave123]

Does anyone remember "them" ? with the giant ants?

The OP should have said Vincent Price with (Edgar Allen Poe), not Boo,oor,ris the Spider dun dun dun dun.

Vincent Price did a lot of Edgar Allen Poe. Really not monsters, but...

 

[CarriePie]

Nosferatu (1922) and Dracula (1931). Did anyone see the 2024 version of Nosferatu? It was okay, but the original is so much better.

The Fly (1958), The Wolf Man (1941), The Gorgon (1964), Frankenstein's Bride (1935), Monolith Monsters (1957), Day of the Triffids (1963), Astounding She-Monster (1958).

And I remember Them! (1954), but I haven't seen it in so long. I need to put it in my queue to give it a watch again sometime.

One of my favorite movies of all movies is the 1988 remake of The Blob.

 

[Lanolin]

Edward Scissorhands was my Frankenstein
The Wizard of Oz - wicked witch and flying monkeys scene was scary as a child

The Birds. I don't know if they count as monsters, but anything by Alfred Hitchcock is worth a look.
Jurassic Park. All the scenes with the T Rex.

 

[CarriePie]

I've always liked The Birds (1963). It's a really good movie and I'd say it counts as a monster movie. I looked it up and saw various articles that consider it a monster movie.

I remember Empire of the Ants (1977) used to be on tv sometimes back in the day. It was also about big, mutated ants. I always enjoyed it lol.

Which was the one that had the Wolfman, Dracula, and Frankenstein all fighting each other in a castle?

I'm really suprised that the 'War of the Gargantuas' hasn't been remade. That would be a remake that I would like to see.

The last movie that I seen in a theater was the new King Kong. I didn't care for it. Maybe I'm being sentimental, but the old black and white King Kong was cool and had something that the new one didn't have. I don't know what it was, but it was better.

 

[Dave123]

A list of Rotten Tomatoes top 50. # 17, I've never seen that one.

There was some deleted scenes that you can see from the DVD. The jitterbug dance. I heard that Shirley Temple was originally asked to play Dorothy, but declined.

i went to see the new kong also.

that was a long time to sit in theater..

I remember when I was a kid, my Dad was flipping through channels one Sunday afternoon and came across an old Japanese movie with a flying, spinning turtle that shot fire from his leg holes.

A CC friend told me the turtle is Gamara:





I remember seeing the MST3K episode with one of his movies, but I don't remember much of it.

I do remember liking that turtle more than Godzilla though!

lol

When we were kids, it was an event. I remember the air conditioned theaters were incredible. We'd sneak our own candy in from the five and dime. Or our own lunch bags full of popcorn. We had summer blockbusters to go see, like Jaws, Rocky, Star wars, etc.

I even remember the Disney movies. Remember Kurt Russell in 'The Strongest man in the World'? Or "Oh God" with George burns, John Denver and Terry Gar?

House of Dracula (1945)
or Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)?

The atmosphere of these old movies was one of my favorite things about them. One of my favorite old movies is Carnival of Souls (1962). Though not a monster movie, I always loved the atmosphere of the movie and that it was thought provoking.
