I've only seen three of those.  Night of the Blood Beast is sort of a favorite.  I remember buying Swamp Women for a penny and it's easily the worst looking DVD I own.  Think I've seen Gila Monster as well.  I'll have to check a couple of those other ones out, the trailers look kind of interesting.

What, no "Killer Shrews?"  :question:

Only one of these I'm sure I've seen is "Giant Gila Monster," I recognize quite a few titles as being in a "Horror Classics" 50-movie box that I own, I just havent' gotten round to 'em yet.

It's a guy (George Barrows,qctually) in a monkey suit with a cheap space helmut. And a Lawrence Welk bubble machine. And a total idiot.OH! and stock footage of ONE MILLION BC (1939)! And an atom bomb blast! And your mind will melt faster than a cube of ice in a microwave. If your not used to Bad Movies-it'll blow up like a cat in a microwave!
What more can ya ask for? Alchohol makes it better! If you smoke pot-your face will HURT from smiling and laffing so much.

And why isnt PLAN 9 on the list? Or MESA OF LOST WOMEN?

14.  A lot of these made MST3K episodes and I own several of them on various Mill Creek sets.

I didn't think GIANT GILA MONSTER was that bad.   ROBOT VS THE AZTEC MUMMY was the worst.

3 of them, Robot Monster, Killers from Space, and The Giant Gila Monster.

The cut off line was 800 IMDb votes. Unfortunately Mesa has only 765 IMDb votes. Plan 9 scores an amazing 3.8/10 rating at IMDb.  For these polls I only used movies with an IMDb rating between 1/10 - 2.9/10.

I've only seen The Violent Years which to me has the most groan inducing dialogue I've ever encountered. In other words, typical Ed Wood effort. I wanna see all the rest though. Maybe you guys could recommend a Mill Creek pack containing those other ones perhaps?

I've seen 7 of these....but I've seen The Giant Gila Monster a good number of times. In fact,Alan owns at least two copies of it. :teddyr:
Yes,I'm fine....as long as I don't look too closely.
