Well, there is no other movie with "Lepus" in the title, so I have to do "Night" again.

Night and Day (1946)

RIFFTRAX: GRIM TRAX: A collection of "grim" shorts dealing with subjects like aging, death, stranger danger, grisly workplace accidents (one for the gore fans), and a childhood existential crisis. Very grim indeed, but I laughed, because it was happening to someone else (and it helps that it was all happening to bad actors). It was only an hour long, so I watched a couple of additional shorts, notably "Steamboat Willie," which I'd never seen before in its entirety. 3/5.

Quote from: Dr. Whom on October 23, 2026, 01:07:32 AMBruno VeSota first came to my attention in Attack of the Giant Leeches. If you look at the films he was in, it is no wonder that at one point he thought 'I can do this just as well'

I'll attest that actors in bad movies and actors in bad plays definitely do this.

Also I forgot to mention that BRAIN-EATERS is the source of one of my all-time favorite (stoopid) audio samples - where the mayor's lame adult son asks if the brain-eaters turn their victims into a "ROW-bit".  :bouncegiggle: I very much wanted the cool greaser scientist to put the son in a vicious headlock and scream "There is no such thing as a ROW-bit!"

From Kronos

In the 50s, it was really easy to get electrocuted in a psychiatrist's cabinet.

Kronos (1957)

Starring Jeff Morrow, who would go on that same year to battle the Giant Claw, also by reversing the polarity.

This is a typical mid-50s alien invasion movie. The aliens land, and there are only about four people on hand to stop them. As these things go, it is not a particularly bad one. The plot, while strictly by the numbers, isn't as ludicrous as some. What really lets it down, are the production values. They do their best, they use stock footage intelligently, have some mass scenes and even a helicopter (which gets a lot of screen time). But at the end of the day, it is just a handful of people in some basic sets. Also, for a movie of about 78 minutes, there is a lot of padding. This feels like a script for a TV episode, stretched out to film length.
