You "young people" today think those props and special effects were laughed at because you're used to modern cinema technology, But for us youngsters, they worked. We did analyze for flaws.
Most of these movies are my late night guilty pleasures. The crawling eye when Forrest Tucker yells at the pilot "Do as you're told" always cracks me up
The fact that those 50s b-movies were appreciated at the time and get mocked these days only demonstrate that people had more imagination to fill in the blanks in those days than spectators nowadays who can't think for themselves anymore.
Why do so many of these "reviewers" spend so much time trying to be cleaver at the expense of the efforts of others so fervently, and so often? Looking for faults and laughing at others? Maybe fun once in a while to be amused by the likes of ROBOT MONSTER or ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN, but....to keep repeating this useless practice rather than maybe seeking out the better points and creative resourcefulness of some of these films has become sooooo old hat and worn out. Maybe it's just my opinion, but I often admire what was done. Making films is not easy. I think these are generally more fun to watch for what they accomplished rather than what they failed at. Some truly have little to no thing to inspire positive comments, but a lot of the films here ROCKETSHIP X-M, MAGNETIC MONSTER are examples) have a lot going for them worth nothing rather than ragging on so much. Again, just an opinion.
@@RSEFX Quite an interesting take you have there and it's a VERY valid point of view. I've got nothing against amateur reviewers but when their attitude becomes one of condescendency then I'm inclined to think that their thoughts reflect best the silliness of their OWN product/philosophy (judgment is easier than reflection) which took little to no effort to produce, compared to those 50s movies. Those 50s movies give/gave me more thrills than many recent movies/franchises.
Maybe it's because I was a kid in the 1950s that I looked past the miserable execution and concentrated on story, themes, characters, and favorite actors. In short, I rarely got smug about these movies.
I like how there's a computer called MANIAC, playing on early computer names like UNIVAC and ENIAC. Kurt Vonnegut wrote a story in which the machine is called IPECAC, after a medicine that encouraged vomiting.
Poor Peter Graves and Lee van Cliff. They had to break into Hollywood by suffering through these unbelievably bad sci-fi movies. It's a wonder they didn't get a bad reputation after this.
@ His first appearance was in the movie Revenge of the Creature, 1954. And then he had some other small parts in some other bad movies and then finally he had a more significant part in the movie The Blob. I think he was a lab assistant or something. And then suddenly he was a star in the TV showRawhide. I would love to read his biography someday. Many movie stars have lived incredible, colorful lives. If you ever get a chance and you like to read, read Charlton Heston's biography.
You're a bit unfair to "Magnetic Monster". I found it pretty intriguing, and it builds to a very exciting climax. Oh, and that first monster is not a carrot, it's okra.
The scenes in the underground atomic reactor at the end were actually lifted from the 1934 German sci-fi movie, "Gold". Note when actor Richard Carlson switches clothing and is transformed into the protagonist in the earlier film.
@@geraldmartin7703 The first time I saw Magnetic Monster I wondered why the visual effects suddenly got so much better! Then I learned how they'd used footage from "Gold". There is some Grade A Deco Punk work in those sequences, right out of Metropolis, or Things to Come.
As a child in Southern California, I remember channel 5 KTLA had Saturday afternoon show called "Creature Features" that showed most of these movies. It was great ridiculous fun with my dad, who did grow up in the '50s.
I have seen all but 1 of these movies,Robot Monster to be exact. Even as a kid seeing this movie was "you gotta be kidding me" . Honestly thought the head of the gorlla suit got lost in the mail so they grabbed a diving helmet and went to full speed to the bottom of the batrel.
I noticed " She Demons " starred Irish McCalla, who was known at that time for playing television's " Sheena, Queen of the Jungle ". Great list of " So bad, they're good " gems.
I saw "The Killer Shrews" on tv when I was a child and it scared the bejeebus outta me. You don't get the full effect without the weird sound the shrews made - I can still imagine it all these years later. Totally creeped me out. And people barricaded in a small building on an island with ravenous shrews chewing thru the walls? How much more trapped can ya be?
The Thing That Couldn't Die - I saw this when I was fairly young and it scared the crap out of me. Anything with something long dead coming back to life, scared me back then.
Thank Drive-in Movies for a lot of these gems. You can make all the cheap and fun movies you want but you need to screen to show them on. How many of these classics do you think Radio City Music Hall showed ?? 😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great job as usual.
Low budget, corny, yet they somehow seem to hold up to repeated viewings. I can watch these schlock flicks over and over, whereas I'm one and done with most big budget blockbusters.
The Brain-eaters.... Of course this 8 year old had to sit in the front row... As the lurid plot un-folded, I got claustrophobic seeing the main character slide down a tube inside of the cork-screw vessel. I could take it no further and I ran up the aisle to the safety of the lobby... Picture a frighten 8 year old wearing a trench coat and a fedora
I have a big question about the Attack of the 50-foot woman. How did her clothes grow larger while becoming a giant woman? Inorganic material can't grow larger. Therefore, the giant woman has to be nude (full naked) without clothes. Hollywood media and government censorship never allowed to show nude on films! If I were a film producer, I would film The Attack of the 50-foot Nude Woman, which would be wildly popular as a Hollywood blockbuster! Of course, I gave this film an "R" rating.
How about doing a bit on "Not of this earth", the original one I mean! I never saw the flick on the big screen but the commercials scared me when I was a kid when the creature jumped on peoples head! But I watched it on the Dumont we had with a round cathode ray tube, and we had one of the turn your TV into a color TV with the three level, green ,blue and red plastic covers. It was lame as hell but we loved watching it and larfing at its screwy effect. And the angry red planet was a classic to my young impressionable mind! Whoo ooh a whoo! My goodness you did it with not of this earth, THANKS! I never forgot the classic ending!!😳!! ?? With mr. Smith "if that's your real name?" And then he became an agent in the Matrix. Upward monster mobility!! Great stuff! More please😱😱??
There is nothing to fear. The Zarlons are completely docile so long as my Terocerator is running in the green. But Prof. the dial is in the red. Ah. We may wish to relocate.
How about a review of bad Zombie movies throughout the history of Cinema? Who could forget such classics as "I Eat Your Skin" and "The Dead One"? Higher budget films [Really?} such as 2Zombie Creeping Flesh" and "Raiders of The Living Dead" would be ideal candidates for a review such as this, as there have been some awful films over the decades. You might even include "Zombie Chronicles" (a collection of connected Shorts) and maybe "Zombie Honeymoon". There are loads out there, and it would be fun to hear what you think of these weirdly fascinating (?) films.
At the very least, we got some fun Mystery Science Theater episodes out of several of these! Frequent 3 Stooges director Edward Bernds helmed "Queen of Outer Space." Apparently the work gave him ulcers...
I liked Rocketship XM. I admit the first 2/3 of the move were boring, but the scenes on Mars when the crew encounters the people and the subtle eerie music was realistic.
These were and still are my favorite kind of movies. Sure the effects look cheap and hokey. but that's what gave these movies their charm. We've become so spoiled with cgi nowdays.
The Brain Eaters was loosely adapted from The Puppet Masters by Robert A. Heinlein. A much better (in terms of FX, but still bad) movie (with Donald Sutherland) was made in 1994.
I have seen all of these movies...I think the venusians in " Queen of Outer Space" are beauty pageant winners of the time, but I'm not sure about that. There's one called " It: The terror from Beyond Space" that supposedly inspired " Alien"...
I love the 50s B-movies. It's like watch Doctor Who when William Hartnell played the Doc. The one Movie that so naff is good, is the 50ft Woman and as a young man of 14 yrs when I watched it. as it holds a special place in my heart . Did you the Giant Nancy wasn't going to be in it. it's thanks to the Colossal man, was written in at the lest minute. That why the FX were so bad. But it's the FX is what makes it for me. I love 💕 it .
🏆👍🏽👏🏆! I went with my Grand Pa ( had to: under age for movies alone) & watched IT CAME FROM 🧟♂️🛸! Was somSCARED!! Asked Grand Pa why he wasn’t scared!!??… he said,”… well.. I married your Grandmother… so Big Deal !” 😂😂😂
ALL Campy n cool. If you are on the 70's movie list could you mention a TV movie called Curse of Bigfoot ? Very scary to a young boy but cheesy and awful to an adult. I am fairly sure that the opening of the sealed chamber scene was done with 2 guys with fire extinguishers...!🤣🤣
Killers from Space (1953) enthralled and scared me when I was a kid. After all, he was raised from the dead. I was afraid that at any moment he would revert to zombie and start biting people.
Off base on Magnetic Monster It was a unique premise, done low key, Not a kids monster fest as the Title and poster art imply. . When will Human's realize the masterpiece that is, Robot Monster. ? Terrifying for this kid. even on TV with commercials. In fact It was an effective 3-D production, The terrifying score was done by Elmer Bernstein. RoMan was cruel powerful and flawed. "I can not, but I must!" Shakesperain dilemma.. My Issue with fifty foot woman, was that the Poster was so much better than the movie. Put sprockets on the poster and throw the movie away. All it needed was a director with passion and vision. Nice list, got more?
It seemed that the lower the budget, the grander the idea. Not many films dealt with full blown alien invasion of Earth. And in this case a successful invasion. I agree with you on Magnetic Monster. A serious attempt to meld two genres (science fiction and police procedurals) Not sure if you are aware but it is part of a trilogy of films involving the Office of Scientific Investigation. My personal favorite of the series is GOG
The wackiest movies ever made in the 50s. Some I've seen on Saturday afternoon monster movie shows, others I saw on MST3K or streaming video. Speaking of MST3K, too bad they never got to tear into She Demons. 👹
I love rocket ship x=M. I found it a cautionary tale about the aftermath of atomic warfare. Einstein said World War 3 would be fought with sticks and stones And THIS film dramatizes that conclusion. it is sexist as by the end of the flick the ice cold female scientist melts under the charms of Bridges AND most of all the anguish that project manager exudes along with the music as the ship dissolves while reentering Earth touched me.
No it was a tragic ending but that project manager ends the movie by saying there WILL be another mission. Rerun Zone actually misstated the films' premise. This crew was going to LUNA not Mars but some fluke had them end up close to Mars. But Luna usually doesn't boast life EXCEPT in some other excellent B movies. I don't know if you've seen MISSILE TO THE MOON>. Perhaps this guy mentions it in another review but I love THAT movie for its farcical nature.
You got 2 premier movies for $.25 cents along with cartoons, the three stooges, and laurel and hardy. The sfx, if you could call it that, made these movies!😂

The dudes in Queens of Outer Space mugged Leslie Nielson's crew on the United Planets starship C-57D. :)
The mens uniforms in Queen of Outer Space are recycled from Forbidden Planet
So are a couple of the props and one of the dresses, they really raided that dress up box.
As were the weapons.
you are right !
& the uniforms of the civil defense in The Time Machine (1960)
You "young people" today think those props and special effects were laughed at because you're used to modern cinema technology, But for us youngsters, they worked. We did analyze for flaws.
Most of these movies are my late night guilty pleasures. The crawling eye when Forrest Tucker yells at the pilot "Do as you're told" always cracks me up
Try to imagine watching these films as a young child; you might become scared because I took all of them seriously.
I remember seeing Rocketship X-M on TV. On a Saturday afternoon, I'm guessing in about 1958 or '59. I was about 7yo. It was exciting and terrifying.
It's hard to believe that Peter Graves could only get these schlock movie roles on the heels of Stalag 17.
He's also in Night Of The Hunter!
That'll teach him to be a stoolie!!!
@tomryan914 😊👍

I agree.
Roger Corman was The King of the B Movies.
3:22 I never realized how iconic those uniforms would be! That was almost instantly recognizable to me from Forbidden Planet, 1956.
Seems that Peter Graves and Beverly Garland were the king and queen of the 50's B movies
I was born in '49 and these have always been some of my favorite movies, especially those by Roger Corman. Keep up the good work.
Maybe it's because I was a kid in the 1950s that I looked past the miserable execution and concentrated on story, themes, characters, and favorite actors. In short, I rarely got smug about these movies.
3:12 Just noticed that the men’s uniforms are the same as the ones in Forbidden Planet.
Amazing how in 1956 movies such as It Conquered the World and Forbidden Planet could come out of the movie industry at the same time.
Wow, I thought I had seen them all, but you always come with more! Such nostalgia.
I like how there's a computer called MANIAC, playing on early computer names like UNIVAC and ENIAC. Kurt Vonnegut wrote a story in which the machine is called IPECAC, after a medicine that encouraged vomiting.
Poor Peter Graves and Lee van Cliff. They had to break into Hollywood by suffering through these unbelievably bad sci-fi movies. It's a wonder they didn't get a bad reputation after this.

Maybe "mild inconvenience" should become a subgenre of horror movies.
What? Plan 9 didn't make the cut? Outrageous, lol.
Man, Peter Graves would do anything.....but Lee Van Cleeve!
Oh no Lee!
With hair no less!!!

I hope the producers of “The Brain Eaters” bought the rights from Robert A. Heinlein. Sounds like a carbon copy of his novel “The Puppet Masters”.
Correct indeed: Heinlein's novel, "The Puppet Masters" was the inspiration for "The Brain Eaters."
I think he sued them for copyright violations.
Rocketship X-M was to go to the moon at first and then trip to Mars was an accident.
Worse, in "Abbott and Costello Go to Mars" (1953), the duo actually only go to New Orleans.
They didn’t have gps back then.
Thank Drive-in Movies for a lot of these gems. You can make all the cheap and fun movies you want but you need to screen to show them on. How many of these classics do you think Radio City Music Hall showed ?? 😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great job as usual.
Wasp Woman could have been a great Early Outer Limits episode for sure.
It conquered the world was way better then it's remake, Zontar, the thing from Venus.
Almost a word for word, duplicate.
Loved the Beginning of the End. One of my favorites as a child
There was a sequel to The Killer Shrews made in 2011 starring original cast member James Best( Rosco P Coaltrane from Dukes of Hazard)
Low budget, corny, yet they somehow seem to hold up to repeated viewings. I can watch these schlock flicks over and over, whereas I'm one and done with most big budget blockbusters.

It was also remade in the 80's starring Traci Lords and featured her last filmed nude scene. All of her previous movies were supposed to be destroyed.
The 4-D Man in 1959 was a great horror film that I remember. As a kid I saw it as a double feature with Mary Poppins.
There is nothing to fear. The Zarlons are completely docile so long as my Terocerator is running in the green.

I’ve seen every one of these B Movies. Too bad that they don’t show these B Movie Classics on TV anymore.
Here in the UK they do, there is a channel that specialises in 50s to 70s TV and movies. Most of these movies have been shown over the last year.

Thanks Rich.
Alright, enough! "Decapitated head." So the head had its head cut off?
ALL Campy n cool.
If you are on the 70's movie list could you mention a TV movie called Curse of Bigfoot ?
Very scary to a young boy but cheesy and awful to an adult.
I am fairly sure that the opening of the sealed chamber scene was done with 2 guys with fire extinguishers...!🤣🤣
If Morris Ankrum is in it, it’s a guaranteed 4star movie.
1958 must have been a banner year for campy movies. More than half of the examples here are from that year.
It conquored the world was the subject of a frank zappa song called Cheepnis.
Great stuff.
The job that stole my brain.
You need to take a look at Frankenstein meets the Space Monster (1965). A real cult classic.
Beverly Garland and Allison Hayes make any B-movie worth watching.
Not gonna lie i would watch the heck out of these movies
They don’t make hideous alien monsters the way they used to. The girls are pretty much the same, though.
How about "Rawhead Rex", overlooked gem or unbelievable crap?
I love those old movies.
I'm Peter Graves, and I'd like to enroll at the university of Minnesota.
