Creature Feature begins featuring two movies |
|
1/3/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Billy the Kid vs. Dracula" (1966;
John Carradine)
"Jungle Woman" (1944) |
Not "Jungle Woman" again! |
|
1/10/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Angry Red Planet" (1959)
"Monster on the Campus" (1958) |
Outstanding
double-feature. "Angry..." is a colorful sci-fi classic
which I saw again recently on FLIX. "Monster on the
Campus" was a movie I never saw on Crea-Fea, but rather on AMC.
Loved that giant dragonfly!
- Andy |
|
1/17/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Jesse
James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" (1966)
"The Thing that Couldn't Die" (Karloff, 1958) |
Another great
double-bill. I've re-watched both films recently. "The
Thing..." haunted me for years. I was terrified by "Sir
Francis Drake's" mesmerizing evil eyes stare!
- Andy |
|
1/17/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Flying Saucer" (1965; Italy) "Pillow of Death" (Last entry in Universal's "Inner Sanctum" series starring Lon Chaney Jr.; 1945) |
|
|
1/31/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Mothra" (1962; Japan) "She-Wolf of London" (1946) |
Yet another great
double-bill. Japanese Monster Movies were always a treat.
- Andy |
|
2/7/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Atom Age Vampire" (1961; Italy/France) "The Mummy's Curse" (1944) |
Lon Chaney Jr., I
thought, was a great Mummy. For some reason Universal switched the
setting from previous "Mummy" sequels from New England to
Louisiana. I always wondered why the Mummy walked with a limp arm -
and was then able to pick up Princess Ananka with both arms! Is it
just me, or did the cultish Egyptian priests call their region "Arkham"?
- Andy |
|
2/14/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Island of Terror" (1967; Peter Cushing) "The Mole People" (1956) |
Can't beat these
films. "Island..." was a truly terrifying picture for the
'60s. The amoeba-like creatures were frightening! Great shock
ending too! Happy Valentine's Day!
- Andy |
|

"Curse of the Demon" (1957; Dana
Andrews)
"The Gamma People" (1956) |

People" is one of my late-night favorites!
- Andy |
|
5/1/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Rodan, the Flying Monster" (1957)
"Konga" (1961; Michael Gough) |
A cut rate, guy-in-a-suit, rip-off of King Kong, but still
lots of fun!
- Ed Tucker |
|
5/8/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Island
of the Burning Doomed" (1967; Lee/Cushing)
"Voodoo Island" (1957; Karloff) |
|
|
5/15/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |

"The Mummy's Tomb" (1942, Lon Chaney
Jr.)
"The Most Dangerous Man Alive" (1961) |
|
|
6/19/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Black Cat" (1941, Bela Lugosi,
Basil Rathbone)
"Yongary, Monster from the Deep" (1967) |
Note "The Black Cat" was not the '34 Karloff/Lugosi classic. "Yongary" was a fun, all-color South Korean giant monster movie! |
|
6/26/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Dinosaurus" (1960)
"Werewolf of London" (1935, Henry Hull) |
"Dinosaurus"
was one of my all-time favorite fantasy films. WOL was one of the
original films to feature a werewolf, pre-dating Lon Chaney Jr.'s
"The Wolfman" by six years.
- Andy |
|
7/3/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Black Friday" (1940, Karloff/Lugosi)
"The 27th Day" (1957) |
|
|
7/10/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The
Ghost of Frankenstein" (1942; Chaney Jr., Lugosi)
"Son of Dracula" (1943, Lon Chaney Jr.) |
Very solid double-bill |
|
7/17/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Invasion of the Body Snatchers"
(1956)
"Return of the Giant Majin" (1966) |
I loved the giant "Majin"
series. "Majin" was a giant walking stone statue that
terrorized Samurai-era Japan.
- Andy These were true torture for me as a kid. I loved the Japanese monster aspect of the films, but you had to sit through an hour of boring story line waiting for the statue to finally get pissed off enough to start stomping stuff! - Ed Tucker |
|
7/24/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Plan 9 from Outer Space" (1959;
Lugosi, Vampira)
"Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1932) |
Ed Wood! Aw-right!!!!! |
|
7/31/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Revenge of the Creature" (1955, John
Agar)
"The Man Who Cried Wolf" (1937) |
Note TMWCW was a crime drama, not a horror film. DPB complained about how crime dramas and European "giallos" were broadcast on CF, tricking kids into thinking they were horror films because of their horror-esque titles |
|
8/7/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Son of Frankenstein" (1939; Karloff,
Lugosi)
"The Raven" (1935; Karloff, Lugosi) |

of the Tongs" (1961 - Hammer, Christopher Lee)

No! Not "Terror of the Tongs"!!! AAARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!! |
|
8/21/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Billy
the Kid vs. Dracula" (1966; Lon Chaney Jr. )
"The Frozen Ghost" (1945, Lon Chaney Jr.) |
|
|
8/28/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Valley
of the Dragons" (1961 )
"The Wolf Man" (1941, Lon Chaney Jr., Claude Rains) |
"Valley/Dragons":
There was something I found really cool about this film as a kid and years later when I discovered it was based on Jules Verne’s "Off On a Comet".
I understood why.
- Ed Tucker |
|
9/4/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Battle in Outer Space" (1960)
"Man-Made Monster" (1941; Lon Chaney Jr., Lionel Atwill) |

|
|
9/18/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Valley of the Dragons" (1961)
"The Strange Door" (Karloff, 1951) |
"Valley/Dragons":
There was something I found really cool about this film as a kid and years later when I discovered it was based on Jules Verne’s "Off On a Comet".
I understood why.

"The Bride of Frankenstein" (1935)

|
|
10/2/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Battle of the Worlds" (1961; Italy,
Claude Rains)
"Terror in the Jungle" (1968) |
"Terror in the
Jungle" seems like a bit of a rarity. Had to look this one up.
- Andy |
|
10/9/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Curse of Bigfoot" (1972)
"The Thing That Couldn't Die" (1958) |
I knew this was a dog even as a kid, although I did like the beginning where the archeologists find the American Indian “mummy” buried under the tablet and haul it out. This film had a little bit of everything and a whole lot of nothing! It’s interesting to note that this film ended up on Creature Feature only four years after it was made.
- Ed Tucker |
|
10/16/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Curse of Frankenstein" (1957)
"The Mummy's Hand" (1940) |
|
|
10/23/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Phantom of the Opera" (1962; Hammer,
Herbert Lom)
"Night Creatures" (1962) |

Heaven to a little kid watching Crea-Fea! |
|
11/20/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Monster Zero" (1966; Toho, Nick
Adams)
"Night Monster" (1942; Bela Lugosi, Lionel Atwill) |

"Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed"

|
|
12/4/76 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Magic Serpent" (1966)

Crea-Fea pre-empted for a X-Mas special edition show! No wonder I like Halloween more than X-mas... |
|
1/1/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"It Came from Beneath the Sea" (1955)
"Warning from Space" (1956 or 1968) |
Note: The entry reads "Warning from Space" which was a 1956 Japanese film featuring Starfish-shaped aliens. The date given in "TV Dial", however, was 1967, which leads me to believe it could have been a sci-fi film called "Warning from Outer Space" (1967) |
|
1/8/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The
Creature Walks Among Us" (1956) "The Strangler" (1963) |
This is one of Victor Buono’s best roles ever and seemed very adult to me as a kid.
- Ed Tucker |
|
1/15/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"12 to the Moon" (1960)

"Tarantula" (1955)
"Dance of Death" (1968; Mexico, Boris Karloff) |

"The Man Who Reclaimed His Head"
(1934)
"The Black Cat" (1941) |
|
|
4/9/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"It! The Terror from Beyond
Space" (1958)
"The Phantom Planet" (1962) |
"It!..." is a
personal favorite of mine. It's very scary, as compared with other
sci-fi films of the late '50s and was an influence on "Alien"
(1979).
- Andy |
|
4/16/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Invisible Ray" (1936, Karloff/Lugosi)
"The Mole People" (1956, John Agar) |
|
|
4/23/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"War of the Gargantuas" (1966, Russ
Tamblyn)
"Dead Man's Eyes" (1944, Lon Chaney Jr.) |
"War..." was
one of the most fun full-color features shown on Crea-Fea (at least
to a 10-yr.-old kid), and I believe was a pseudo-sequel to
"Frankenstein Conquers the World". Unforgettable!
- Andy As much as I loved the giant Japanese monsters as a kid, this one actually did scare me. The scenes of the Green Gargantua eating people and then spitting out their clothes were pretty intense. I was also unnerved by the early scene of the fisherman looking down into the water from his boat only to see the Green Gargantua standing on the bottom of the ocean looking up at him! It’s hard to believe this was a sequel to "Frankenstein Conquers the World". - Ed Tucker |
|
4/30/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Women of the Prehistoric Planet"
(1966, John Agar)
"Isle of the Dead" (1945; Karloff, dir. Val Lewton) |
"Isle..." was a
haunting favorite of mine. Note that "Women..." was
broadcast on "Fright Theatre" the same night (see the FT
database below)
- Andy |
|
5/7/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Mummy's Tomb" (1942)
"The Mummy's Revenge" (1972, Paul Naschy) |
A rare excursion into Spanish horror for Crea Fea. A real treat, and a nice break from the B&W Universal classics. |
|
5/14/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Bride of the Gorilla" (1951; Raymond
Burr, Lon Chaney Jr.)
"Brides of Dracula" (1960; Hammer, Peter Cushing) |
"Bride(s)..." double feature! After "Horror of Dracula", Christopher Lee refused to play Count Dracula for a number of years. English actor David Peel filled in. Great film. Directed by Terence Fisher with a script by Jimmy Sangster. |
|
5/21/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Navy vs. the Night Monsters" (1966,
Billy Gray)
"Bela Lugosi meets a Brooklyn Gorilla" (1952) |
I recall at the time, seeing "Navy..." was a pretty exciting, full-color experience. It was scary and action-packed. I remember being surprised seeing Billy Gray ("Bud" in "Father Knows Best") in the cast. He gets his arm ripped off! BLMABG, despite the inane title, was a very fun movie featuring a look-alike Martin/Lewis team. |
|
5/28/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |

"Konga" (1961; Michael Gough) "Return of the Giant Majin" (1966, Daiei) |
"Konga":
cut rate, guy-in-a-suit, rip-off of King Kong, but still lots of fun!
"...Majin": These were true torture for me as a kid. I loved the Japanese monster aspect of the films but you had to sit through an hour of boring story line waiting for the statue to finally get pissed off enough to start stomping stuff! - Ed Tucker |

9/17/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Footsteps on the Moon" (1967)
"The Frozen Ghost" (1945) |
Never heard of "Footsteps...". This is probably a documentary. |
|
9/24/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Terror in the Jungle" (1968)
"Island of Doomed Men" (1940) |
"The Creeping Terror" was a real treat for bad movie fans! |
|
10/1/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Horror Castle" (1964, Christopher
Lee)
"The Boogie Man Will Get You" (Karloff, 1942) |
"Horror Castle" - Great feature! Always liked the title of the 2nd Karloff feature, although I bet it's better than the actual movie. |
|
10/8/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Terror Beneath the Sea" (1970, Sonny
Chiba)
"Atomic Submarine" (1959) |
Another great double-feature. |
|
10/15/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Curse of the Living Corpse" (1964,
Roy Scheider)
"Carnival of Souls" (1962, Dir. Herk Harvey) |
You can't beat this line-up. "Curse" was one of my Crea Fea faves, but I don't recall ever seeing "Carnival..." on Crea Fea - what a treat that must have been! |
|
10/23/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"I, Monster" (1971, Lee/Cushing)
"Monster from the Surf" (1965) |
Again, "I, Monster" is another Crea Fea movie I managed to miss (I must have been out seeing "Star Wars"). |
|
10/29/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Count Dracula" (1970, Christopher
Lee, Dir. Jess Franco)
"The Raven" (1935, Karloff/Lugosi) |
"Count Dracula" also stars Klaus Kinski as Renfield and Soledad Miranda! Franco on the Feature! Guess this was the Halloween show. |
|
11/5/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Attack of the Mushroom People" (1966)
"Attack of the Giant Leeches" (1959) |
Another film on CF that actually scared me. How dumb can these people be? Don’t eat the damn mushrooms!
- Ed Tucker |
|
11/12/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Frankenstein Conquers the World"
(1966)
"House of Frankenstein" (1944, Karloff, Chaney Jr.) |
Good double-feature, although odd seeing a Japanese Frankenstein (critically panned) paired with a traditional American version. |
|
11/19/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Beast with a Million Eyes" (1955)
"Astounding She Monster" (1957) |
As a kid, I had to do a double-take to see if Shirley Kilpatrick was really nekkid! |
|
11/26/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"I Was a Teenage Frankenstein" (1957)
"I Was a Teenage Werewolf" (1957, Michael Landon) |
Wow! |
|
12/3/77 - Sat. 3:30p (?) |
"Behind the Mask" (1932, Karloff) | No 2nd feature given. Not sure if this played for 3 hours. A non-horror crime thriller teaming up Karloff & Edward Van Sloan after the successes of "Frankenstein" and "Dracula" |
|
12/10/77 - Sat. 3:30p |
"From the Earth to the Moon" (1958) | No second feature (again)? Started at 3:30pm |
|
12/17/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Man They Could Not Hang" (1939)
"Sound of Horror" (1965) |
Sorry, but as a kid I never did like the Karloff crime thriller films. |
|
12/24/77 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Susan Slept Here" (1954)
"The Lions are Free" (1969) |
The Christmas Show. AAUGH! |

"Dracula"
(1931, Lugosi)
"Son of Dracula" (1943, Lon Chaney Jr.) |
Good selections |
|
2/25/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"THX-1138"
(1971, Dir. George Lucas; Robert Duvall)
"Invasion of the Saucer Men" (1957) |
What a delight it was seeing George Lucas' masterpiece on the small screen! It was a very bizarre sci-fi film for Crea Fea, but it helped me to appreciate the art film at a young age. Kudos to AIP for acquiring this title, which came to light after "Star Wars" proved to be a mega-hit. IOTSM was a great flick too! |
|
3/4/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Atom
Age Vampire" (1961)

Japan)

|
|
4/29/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"It
Conquered the World" (1956, Dir. Roger Corman)
"Valley of the Dragons" (1961) |
"Valley/Dragons":
There was something I found really cool about this film as a kid and years later when I discovered it was based on Jules Verne’s "Off On a Comet".
I understood why.
- Ed Tucker |
|
5/6/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Godzilla vs. The Thing" (1964, Dir.
Onoshiro Honda)
"Godzilla" (1956, Dir. Onoshiro Honda) |
I was definitely home watching these two! |
|
5/13/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Attack of the Puppet People" (1958)
"Attack of the Robots" (1966, Dir. Jess Franco) |
"Attack" double-feature! AOTR - an interesting selection |
|
5/20/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Gargoyles" (1972)
"Monster Zero" (1966, Nick Adams) |
"Gargoyles" is an all-time favorite! It stars Scott Glenn ("The Keep") in an early role. Emmy-winning make-up effects by a very young Stan Winston |
|
5/27/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"War of the Monsters" (1966, Japan)
"The Giant Gila Monster" (1959) |
WOTM: The second Gamera film. Gamera fights Barugon. |
|
6/3/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Ape Man of the Jungle" (1962 or 1964)
"Creature from the Black Lagoon" (1954) |
The first feature is an odd choice. First of all, it's not a horror film. According to the IMDB, it's a "Tarzan" imitation from Italy (where else?). Instead of "Tarzan", our hero's called "Tarzak"! |
|
6/10/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Dinosaurus" (1960)
"The Man with 9 Lives" (Karloff, 1940) |
|
|
6/17/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Valley of Gwangi" (1969, Effects: Ray Harryhausen) | Only one
feature this Saturday. "Gwangi" followed by "Grease
Day USA", no doubt a special on the movie "Grease", which
was released in 1978!
- Andy Cowboys and dinosaurs, I’m there! - Ed Tucker |
|
6/24/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Conqueror Worm" (1968, Vincent
Price)
"The Spider" (1958) |
The SPT "TV Dial" lists the date for "The Spider" as 1945. If it's the same movie, that's incorrect. I corrected it here for the database. This was originally titled "Earth vs. the Spider" |
|
7/1/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Mothra" (1962, Japan; Dir. Onoshiro
Honda)
"Jungle Captive" (1945) |
Always hated "Jungle Captive" |
|
7/8/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Majin - Monster of Terror" (1966,
Japan)
"Jungle Woman" (1944) |
Loved the
"Majin" movies. Hated "Jungle Woman"!
- Andy These were true torture for me as a kid. I loved the Japanese monster aspect of the films but you had to sit through an hour of boring story line waiting for the statue to finally get pissed off enough to start stomping stuff! - Ed Tucker |
|
7/15/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Scars
of Dracula" (1971, Hammer; Christopher Lee)
"Blood of Dracula" (1957) |
"Scars..." was a rare '70s Hammer feature shown on Crea Fea. Good stuff! |
|
7/22/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Battle
of the Worlds" (1961, Italy)
"It Came from Outer Space" (1953, Russell Johnson) |
|
|
7/29/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The
Projected Man" (1967, Bryant Halliday)

"The
Beast of Hollow Mountain" (1956, F/X: Willis O' Brien)

"I,
Monster" (1971; Christopher Lee)

|
|
8/19/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Terror
of the Tongs" (1961; Christopher Lee)
"The Giant Claw" (1957) |
Love "The Giant Claw"! Loathe "...Tongs" |
|
8/26/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Curse
of the Mummy's Tomb" (1964)
"The Curse of Dracula" (1958) |
|
|
9/2/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Curse of the Demon" (1957)
"Creature with the Atom Brain" (1955) |
|
|
9/9/78 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"It Came from Beneath the Sea"
(1955)
"Before I Hang" (Karloff, 1940) |
"It Came..." was always a fun feature. Karloff unfortunately made a plethora of fantastic crime dramas that barely qualify as horror films. |
|
9/8/79 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Voyage Into Space" (1968)
"Valley of the Dragons" |
"Valley/Dragons":
There was something I found really cool about this film as a kid and years later when I discovered it was based on Jules Verne’s "Off On a Comet".
I understood why.
- Ed Tucker |
|
8/2/80 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Night of the Blood Beast" (1958)
"An Angel for Satan" (1966, Italy; Barbara Steele) |
"An Angel..." - good selection |
|
8/9/80 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Doomwatch" (1972)
"The 27th Day" (1957) |
I recall seeing a color still from "Doomwatch" in one of my '70s horror movie hardcover books. Always wanted to see it based on that still! Never did, though. I must have missed this on Crea Fea, unfortunately. |
|
8/16/80 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Track of the Vampire" (1966, William
Campbell)
"Sound of Horror" (1965, Italy; Soledad Miranda) |
I'm surprised they're referring to the first feature as "Track..." and not "Blood Bath" - what Crea Fea typically called it. This was one of my favorites. "Sound..." is an interesting selection. |
|
8/23/80 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Fabulous Baron Munchausen" (1959,
Czechoslovakia)
"Creature with the Atom Brain" (1955) |
Typically, I was never thrilled to see "Baron Munchausen", but grew to appreciate it over the years. The effects were very unique and if I recall, some of the scenes were tinted bizarre colors. |
|
8/30/80 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Horror of Frankenstein" (1971, Hammer; Ralph Bates) |
Only one feature this week; the second pre-empted by football. |
|
9/6/80 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The X from Outer Space" (1966)
"The Man with 9 Lives" (Karloff, 1940) |
|
|
9/13/80 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"Curse of the Living Corpse"
(1963)
"Zombies of Mora Tau" (1957) |
"Curse..." was one of my
favorite Creature Feature films. It features Roy Scheider in an
early role and a decapitated head served on a platter! Somehow I
always managed to miss "Zombies of Mora Tau".
- Andy |
|
9/20/80 - Sat. 2p-5p |
"The Gorgon" (1964, Hammer;
Cushing/Lee)
"Bride of the Gorilla" (1951, Raymond Burr) |
