Directed by Roger Corman. Written by Charles B. Griffith. Starring Richard Garland, Pamela Duncan, Russell Johnson, Leslie Bradley, Mel Welles and Richard H. Cutting.
Plot: people are attacked by huge crab monsters.
This movie should have been done by Mystery Science Theatre, but we don’t think it has been. And what a loss. There’s so much fun stuff they could have laughed at.
Sometimes it seems like they just didn’t finish filming certain scenes. And they know an awful lot about a giant creature they just laid eyes on. People’s reactions to things are also hysterical. Martha flirts with the professor the whole time even though she’s with Dale and that’s funny to watch. I mean, she’s holding either the professor’s hand or Dale’s hand in every other scene. It’s so hilarious. You can also see the strings holding up the crab monster. It is the best ever. It’s probably one of the top 10 funniest horror movies ever.
It is totally rewatchable. It’s original. We loved everyone, even Martha. And the ending is great. We recommend it totally.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. I love comic books. I'm particularly into anything X-Men related and everything Harley Quinn.
2. My celebrity crush is Chris Evans (AKA Captain America). He's even more political than I am and he's not afraid to show it, plus he's really, really hot.
3. I love baseball and more importantly the Boston Red Sox, even though I've never even been to Boston. LOL
4. If I won the lottery tomorrow, after paying off my debts, I'd buy a smallish house somewhere in Southern California. I have got to get out of Texas.
5. My cartoon hero is Tina Belcher. Her and I share a soul.
6. I've been rescuing dogs since I was a teenager and firmly believe that fur babies belong inside and on the furniture.
7. I'm very much addicted to Hallmark Channel. I love their sappy movies, especially the Christmas ones.
8. I have 2 tattoos. An "E" on my ankle for my first lost fur baby. And a ladybug on my wrist named George after George Romero told me he liked it. May he RIP.
9. I'm a bit of a night owl. Not that I go out a lot, it's just that I prefer to be up at night and asleep during the day. I'm a vampire like that.
10. I have an unhealthy relationship with potato chips. My favorite are Herr's Sour Cream & Onion.
