Worst 50's Sci-Fi Movie

Poll question: Worst 50's Sci-Fi Movie

O.K. Sci-Fi buffs,try to remember these blasts from the past.

We all know and love the classics, like " The Day The Earth Stood Still" and " Forbidden Planet." How many of you remember some of these turkeys?

This list, while no means complete,is some of the worst dreck ever filmed.

Note: I purposely left off "Plan Nine From Outer Space" That movie is in a class by it self for sheer awfulness.

Have fun and "Keep Watching The Skies"

1. Gotta go with La Cacannya, The Giant Claw

the only film whose hometown premier star Jeff Morrow walked out of before it ended.

2. Oh, that has to be the worst monster in movie history

I saw that movie when I was in college while stoned. I about pissed myself laughing so hard.

[BigMcLargehuge]

3. what makes it even funnier is how well acted it is

then, ever few minutes the inserted scenes (gotta love Mexican special effects companies) of the marionette shatted any sense of anything else going on the flick. And that cry, CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWW every two seconds...

The first time I saw it I nearly wet myself.

4. I've seen only Robot Monster

But I can't imagine anything worse. Plan 9 included.

Should've been called Undersea Gorilla.



ON EDIT: Do you have room to add The Brain That Wouldn't Die?

5. I always wanted to know where "Beyond Space" was that "It" came from

in the "It came from Beyond Space" movie.

6. I voted for Robot Monster

that movie really sucks! However Giant Claw finishes a close second...

The Brain From Planet Arous is actually a pretty good little bad film, you could have included worse, like "She Demons" or "The Horrors of Spider Island"...Not to mention "Mesa of Lost Women"!

7. This Island Earth

Oh, so bad.

http://imdb.com/title/tt0047577/

Coincidentally (or...not) it features the aforementioned Jeff Morrow as the alien leader Exeter. It's not Giant Claw bad, but it is remarkably boring.

8. Where the fuck is "Plan 9 From Outer Space?"

1950s sci-fi didn't come any worse than that unintentionally hilarious foray into stunningly inept filmmaking!

[General Zod]

9. Actually, I have a soft spot in my heart for that movie.....

....Ed Wood's " Bride of The Monster" was much worse.

10. Ed Wood rocks!

He was a classic, even John Waters doesn't come close.

11. Another vote for The Giant Claw

But it's so bad it's hilarious :D

[Archae]

12. The Giant Claw was pretty good, actually.

Until they showed that stupid bird puppet.

Then my friends and I were on the floor laughing.

13. Night of the Lepus

Giant bunnies! Mom I'm scared!

[Archae]

14. And Bones is in it!

(DeForest Kelley, that is.)
"Damn it Jim, I'm a doctor, not a hassenpfeffer cook!" :D

15. Wasn't he in the 1972 remake?

It's the original that got me, but I can't remember the year.
