\"\"<\/a>During a recent New Year\u2019s Eve marathon of The Twilight Zone, I was reminded of something that scared the bejeezus out of me when I was a mere tyke. As a baby-boomer growing up in Philadelphia, I was raised on horror movies on Saturday afternoons (introduced by an amiable ghoul named Dr. Shock) and late night chiller theaters. I also was a slave to such shows as The Outer Limits, One Step Beyond and the aforementioned Twilight Zone. I guess I just couldn\u2019t get enough of horror in my life.<\/p>\n

It was during the recent marathon that the Twilight Zone entry called Eye of the Beholder aired. That\u2019s the one where a woman is all bandaged up like a mummy, having just undergone her eleventh surgery in order to look normal like everyone else. There are never any face shots of the solicitous doctors and nurses attending her; it isn\u2019t until the end of this incredibly suspenseful episode that we get the gist of what was going on, as the woman is revealed to be gorgeous (Donna Douglas, AKA Ellie Mae Clampett of The Beverly Hillbillies) while the hospital staff is finally shown as pig-nosed, dark-eyed, cleft-lipped monstrosities.<\/p>\n

As a kid \u2013the episode first aired in 1960, when I was three years-old\u2014I watched the show over and over again, my hands half-covering my eyes for the final reveal. And I recall how I later sadistically encouraged my sister, three years younger than I, to watch the same episode without warning her of the surprise ending, not-so-loving older brother that I was.<\/p>\n

The show still packs a sinister wallop, as do the best installments of \u201cthe Zone\u201d (Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, anyone?) and The Outer Limits (I still hate those Zanti Misfits!).<\/p>\n

But that recent marathon got me thinking: What else scared the hell out of me when I was a kid?<\/p>\n

Here are some of the films I came up with:<\/p>\n

The Thing from Another World<\/a> (1951):\u00a0 I\u2019ve argued the merits of the original versus John Carpenter<\/a>\u2019s 1982 remake for years, and I still have a fondness for the Howard Hawks<\/a>-sanctioned, subtle black-and-white classic over Carpenter\u2019s special effects-filled shock show.\u00a0 Ok, James Arness\u2019 monster, on the occasions you got to see it, was essentially a huge carrot, but the scene in which the members of the expedition stand around the frozen pond for the evidence that tells us that a flying saucer has landed there is still a chiller\u2014and not because it takes place in Antarctica. It also proves my point that the fear of the unknown is creepier than the overt gore and head-bludgeoning FX of Carpenter\u2019s concoction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Invaders from Mars<\/a> (1953): This is one of those movies that stays with you for years, giving you nightmares. A young kid (Jimmy Hunt) looks out his window and sees a spaceship crash into a nearby sandpit. Soon, his scientist father\u2014and various other adults around him\u2014begin to behave robotically, and now have mysterious marks behind their necks. The police ignore the youngster\u2019s complaints, but with help from a female doctor and an astronomer, the boy discovers that an invasion is underway as aliens with big heads have housed themselves in the nearby dunes.\u00a0 This movie had such an effect on me that I made my parents show me the back of their necks to make sure they didn\u2019t have the same markings as the parents in the film. Then I insisted that my friends\u2019 parents do the same. Because the film centers on a little kid with a vivid imagination, I could relate to his trauma\u2014and so, apparently, could many other folks my age who talk about watching Invaders from Mars for the first time and being genuinely frightened out of their minds. As for Tobe Hooper<\/a>\u2019s 1986 remake, don\u2019t bother. It\u2019s a travesty.<\/p>\n

Target Earth (1954): The idea of a large city being abandoned\u2014ala The World, the Flesh and the Devil, The Omega Man, 28 Days Later\u2026, The Quiet Earth, \u00a0and I Am Legend\u2014has always touched a nerve in me. It\u2019s probably because of this Cold War sci-fi parable in which a large city\u2014presumably Chicago\u2014is mostly people-less, and robots from Venus are roaming around the streets. At first, the only survivors appear to be a guy from Detroit and a woman who tried to commit suicide by ingesting sleeping pills. Other, less likable remnants of humanity eventually appear (as do scientists trying to resolve the problem), but will they all be able to just get along and halt the Venusians from conquering the world?<\/p>\n

The Monster That Challenged the World<\/a> (1957):\u00a0 The 1950s gave us movies about giant you-name-its, from birds to mantises to octopi. But this is the one and only \u201850s sci-fi film about a giant snail. And while the thought of an enormous escargot may not be enough to give you the heebie-jeebies , take a look at the mug on this thing, and you\u2019ll see why one of my friends wouldn\u2019t talk to me for one whole year after we attended a matinee showing of this one at my behest. \u00a0It\u2019s got two huge red eyes, a pair of pincers and a saliva-dripping whatsit for sucking the life out of humans. Hatched from a volcanic explosion in the Salton Sea, the scary snail takes on Navy divers, scientists and others although, oddly enough, not French chefs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I Bury the Living<\/a> (1958): This is a case where the principals involved seem like an unlikely collaboration that just comes together. The director is Albert Band<\/a>, father of Charles and producer\/director of many spaghetti westerns and gladiator movies. The stars are Richard Boone, best known as the lead in the TV western Have Gun, Will Travel, and Theodore Bikel, a character actor and folk singer best known for playing the male leads during the Broadway runs of both The Sound of Music and Fiddler on the Roof. The plot has successful small-town businessman Boone taking over an old cemetery where the plots are signified on a map by black pins (occupied) and white pins (not). When Boone accidentally mismarks a pair of plots with black pins, and the youthful, healthy owners of those plots abruptly die, he realizes that he may have control over the life and death of others. The spare atmosphere provides much of the film\u2019s tension, with the rundown cemetery office with that large, ominous graveyard map as a primary location and Gerald Fried\u2019s creepy harpsichord score providing a sense of dread. Then there\u2019s Bikel as the Scottish gravedigger who may or may not know more about the secret behind the pins then he\u2019s letting on.<\/p>\n

A Bucket of Blood<\/a> (1959):\u00a0 You laugh and then you shudder. And that\u2019s the joy of Roger Corman<\/a>\u2019s made-on-pennies companion piece to The Little Shop of Horrors. Here, Shop star Dick Miller is the busboy at a bohemian hangout who wants nothing more than to be considered a real artist like the pompous hipster (Julian Burton) who peddles poetry at his workplace. When Miller accidentally kills a cat, he coats it in clay, presents his \u201csculpture\u201d at the club, and he\u2019s on his way to beatnik fame. But the rush of celebrity, however, soon has him turning to humans for his subject matter. Corman skews \u201cmodern art\u201d and the whole beat movement with satiric flare, but the more grotesque Miller\u2019s works become the more uneasy we get at his artistic abilities.<\/p>\n

\"Classic<\/a>The Tingler<\/a> (1959): Except for maybe my gym teachers and Uncle Hymie, William Castle<\/a> probably scared me more than anyone else in my childhood. Castle also made kids shudder in that era with 13 Ghosts, The House on Haunted Hill and Mr. Sardonicus , but I didn\u2019t realize until I got older how this particular terror tale was years ahead of its time. Vincent Price plays the doctor delving into the physiology of what makes people frightened and discovers that everyone has an undetectable centipede-like creature attached to their spine. Now, if he can just find one on a dead person during an autopsy!\u00a0 Someone gets dosed by LSD! Although the film is in black-and-white, there\u2019s a red-tinted color sequence in which the water in a bath tub turns into blood! And then, of course, there is the scene where the creepy crawly is loose in the movie theater! Exhibitors hired people to act like they were fainting in theaters, and Castle invented \u201cPercepto,\u201d a process in which electric vibrations were sent to patrons\u2019 seats. Still, you couldn\u2019t get louder screams (even sans acting or electrical accompaniment) than the Tyson Theater audience during a matinee showing of The Tingler circa the early 1960s.<\/p>\n

The Time Machine<\/a> (1960): George Pal<\/a>\u2019s version of the H.G. Wells story may be my favorite movie of all-time. Along with everything that is great about it\u2014the nifty special effects, Rod Taylor as the stalwart lead, a supporting cast that includes Alan Young and Sebastian Cabot, the talking rings, the memorable score by Russell Garcia, and the gorgeous Yvette Mimieux as futuristic fox Weena\u2014there are those Morlocks, bug-eyed beasts who live underground and terrorize the peaceful Eloi with their unpredictable assaults and cannibalistic palates. I\u2019ve seen this film well over 30 times, and the Morlocks, a mix of troglodyte and ape, still offer unsettling glimpses into the future. Are they not men? They <\/strong>are Devo. \u00a0As for 2002\u2019s remake, directed by Simon Wells (H.G.\u2019s grandson) and produced by Steven Spielberg, don\u2019t bother. It\u2019s a travesty.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Black Sunday<\/a> (1960): The image of a spiked mask (\u201cThe Mask of Satan,\u201d an alternate title for the film) being nailed into the face of sorceress Barbara Steele by a mallet is one of the most shocking in horrordom. But the rest of Mario Bava<\/a>\u2019s gothic masterpiece is no slouch in the creepiness department, either. Steele actually has two roles, the 18th<\/sup> century witch known as Princess Asa, and Katia, her beautiful descendant. 200 years after her spiking, the resurrected Asa rises from the grave to seek Katia lifeforce so that she may keep ticking for centuries more. The film opened with this little word of advice to get all the kiddies in the right mood: \u201cWe feel that the moral obligation to warn you that the film you are about to see will shock you as no other film you will ever see\u2026Therefore, the producers recommend that it only be seen by those persons with mature minds.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Haunting <\/a>(1963): The sounds of Robert Wise<\/a>\u2019s translation of Shirley Jackson\u2019s The Haunting of Hill House are what really spooked yours truly as a kid.\u00a0 The wind whooshes, the doors creak and the walls cry\u2026and what\u2019s that ominous tapping sound? All are found in a house in New England where psychic investigator Richard Johnson is joined by house heir Russ Tamblyn, lesbian ESP expert Claire Bloom and emotionally distraught Julie Harris to determine if the unwilling spirits are real or not. Here Wise and company prove that the cinema of suggestion can often be the creepiest of all, goosebumps guaranteed. As for the 1999 remake, don\u2019t bother. It\u2019s a travesty.<\/p>\n
