Strange Brew by John Deering for March 17, 2013

I loved that movie too! I was 5 years old when it came out in 1954. Era of the radiation mutated creatures movies. Those were the days!

how’d they find out that it was your mother the fire ant that torched their place? that’s what bugs me.

“What if we go down to the Aphid district later on?”

“Them” starts with a staring little girl walking out of the desert and clutching a doll. Super-scary movie – no CGI.

:Them" has always been one of my favorites. I was 10 in 1954 and saw, I believe, every scary movie that came out from Mutated creatures to flying saucers. Great stuff back then. Today they go for the blook and guts and I hate it.

Tarantula! Another good one…

How about the Day the Earth Stood Still?

The great era of scary black and white movies.

Tarantula, I think that Leo G. Carroll was in that one.

The Old Sarge-class of 1944

I remember Them, The Crawling Eye, The H Men and all those great Japanese horror movies from the 50s and 60s. I was born in ’54 and my dad would take me to this local movie theater where we could walk in anytime to see the double features with cartoons, and when it was finished, it started all over, so we could catch the part we missed and stay to the end, again, if we really liked it.
