Awesome, so many films to watch.  My wife walked out on the last 10 minutes of "Death Bed" and said "Nothing before the 80s!", but what she doesn't know won't hurt me.

Killer Condom

Rubber [not related to the above theme]

Killer Condom?!  Please tell me you're not joking.  REALLY?!?!?!

I need to watch Rubber again, I still haven't wrapped my head around that one.

Troll II is nearly obligatory.

And then there is "Killdozer" which will hurt you.
I love Troll 2! 

Killdozer?!  Ohhhh, that sounds good.   Just the name reminds me of "Trucks"... there's another one I need to watch.
This is my awesome signature.  Jealous?

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

Hurt me?  HA!  I really enjoyed this.  I love how they figure out how to kill it.

Lloyd Kelly: How do you go about killing a machine?
Dennis Holvig: A machine? It's too heavy to hang and it's too big to put in the gas chamber.

HA HA HA HA!  I also enjoyed how it did it's little... what was it a dance, a taunt?  Where it would lift the blade then drop it to the ground, or when it would tilt the blade back and forth.  So much fun.  Thanks for htis one.

THE KILLER SHREWS - "genetically altered" killer shrews

Whatever that thing in THE CREEPING TERROR is supposed to be.
APOLLO 18 had what appeared to be sentient killer rocks.
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance opts between two worlds
Fire walk with me

DARK STAR's monster is essentially a beachball.

50s-60s sci-fi films are loaded with cheesy robots, and silly alien monsters some much better realized than others.

THE TOWER starring Paul Reiser features a killer building...
"This above all: To thine own self be true!"

Umaril Has Returned

For it's unconventional approach in a time when Toho was riding high on Godzilla's success, I always felt that Frankenstein Conquers The World was very odd and unique.

First of all the plot was crazy, with Germany delivering the heart of the original monster to the Japanese, and there was the treatment of Frankenstein as a living creature borne of the atom, and not the laboratory. Finally, the creature was highly humanized in a way Toho had not previously done with any of their daikaiju. And the makeup for Frankenstein was very good, with a nice mix of hybrid with traces of the original monster. And last but not least, there was the haunting score by maestro Akira Ifukube that set the atmosphere right from the opening shots.

Overall a very surreal and strange movie that seems to work just fine in the contextual world it took place in.
