79. Charles B. Griffith.  Although he did a lot of terrible, rushed screenplays for Roger Corman, he had some hits with A BUCKET OF BLOOD, THE LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, and DEATH RACE 2000.

78.CURT SIODMAK

He wrote the WOLFMAN (1941),EARTH VS. the FLYING SAUCERS (1956), DONOVAN'S BRAIN (1953),the BEAST WITH 5 FINGERS (1946),SON OF DRACULA (1943),I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE (1943), FRANKENSTEiN MEETS THE WOLFMAN (1942) -which was soooo mangled by Universal to make it unrecognizable-Lugosi (as the Monster) actually had dialouge-it was cut!-and it was never made clear in the film that the Monster was BLIND!-veiwing the film now makes Bela's portrayal (how do you spell this f&ckin word!!!) make his performance look nonsensical.Also an underated film-FPI DOSEN'T ANSWER (1932)Which had Peter Lorre and Dwight Frye! among many other films!

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
