I’m not doing bold/italic because I have NOT read and/or seen the following: #47, #44 (but the title intrigues me), #35, #25, and #16 and I don’t want to be here all night.
Bonus title I’m amazed isn’t on this list: Forbidden Planet. Who could pass up the monsters from the Id?
I’m not tagging anybody because I have to go plot my revenge against Sasha. Maybe I should send her a copy of Cannibal Women in the Avacado Jungle of Death?
Charli, you need to see The Mothman Prophecies. It’s a paranormal thriller type thing. You might enjoy Fire iN the Sky too.
Sasha, I’ll check ’em out. I’d never heard of Mothman before.
I echo the must-see for Mothman *I is Nerd*
I’m surprised there wasn’t any Martian Chronicles on there. And damn you’ve seen/read a lot girl!
I saw this list and tried it, and quickly realized I haven’t read or seen enough to make it interesting. What I have read is 1, 3, 9, 37, and 42.
What I have seen is 1, 2, 3, 5, 11 (but not all the way through), 12, 18 (both endings), 19, 28, 30, and 42 (although I don’t remember seeing the end).
Amie, I’m adding Mothman to the Netflix queue. And yep, I was hooked on Creature Feature by about age 6, so I’ve had years to watch SF/horror movies. If it has monsters or aliens, I’ve probably seen it AND read the book!
Ann, you have lots of good movies ahead if you want to work through this list! I mean, The Island of Dr. Moreau. “What is the law?” *shivers*
Damn Charli! What do I have to do to get you to send ME a copy of Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death??? I want it for the title. If it has fabulously awful cover art that would make it even better. LOL
Erin, it’s so bad it’s good. *g* And it’s Adrienne Barbeau who starred in lots of B classics. My favorite of these: The Swamp Thing.
