  3. Good movie! Brings back memories of watching these classics in b/w. Great job on the coloring process! Btw, speaking of that, can you feature the movie, The Werewolf (1956) with Joyce Holden and Steven Ritch? A colorized version of this movie would be awesome!

  11. Stanley Kubrick, Stephen Speilburg and Gene Roddenberry were damned amateurs compared the director of this brilliantly done movie! This is the best sci-fi movie in cinematographic history. The special effects, sounds, acting and plot are stunning. This is my 127th time I’ve seen this movie and every time I watch it I am even further filled with awe. Absolutely breathtaking!

    The movies 2001, A Space Odyssey, Star Trek, Star Wars and all the other space and mutant creature genre movies combined can’t get close to scratching the surface of how great this one movie is.

    It was such a great injustice when this spectacular movie didn’t win Oscars for best picture, best actor, best actress, best supporting actors, best special effects, best wardrobe and best soundtrack. I’m glad all the people involved in this brilliant film, like the director, producer, actors and entire production teams never created another film after this masterpiece out of protest for being shunned by the Academy of Motion Pictures. They were not only cinematographic geniuses, they were also extremely principled and honorable people. Cheers to all of the people who worked so hard to make this film the best sci-fi film in world history!

    This film takes you on an emotional journey unparalleled in the art of filmmaking. The film leads you from one emotion to the next so seamlessly and brilliantly. It’s like you are a Stradivarius and the filmmakers are the violinists. Prepare to cry, laugh and express every emotion imaginable, even extreme anger.

    You won’t get any spoilers from me but if you get to the end you’re in for one of the biggest treats in the history of motion pictures.

    Bravo!

  13. Simply amazing! This movie was one of my childhood favorites! Thank you so much for such outstanding work! I enjoyed watching this film in color. I was wondering if you could please do a colorized version of the movie titled, The Vampire (1957) Kenneth Tobey, John Beal, Coleen Gray? That would be awesome!

  15. One more mention. On a publicity still, you will see the Monster (Pete Dunn 1922-1990) holding the head of one of his victims in his hands and looking at it in such a way that one could almost hear the monster repeating Hamlet's soliloquy holding the skull of Yorick saying: " Alas poor Yorick, I knew him well." No offense intended to Shakespeare. And finally, Pete Dunn on the light house balcony, waving his arms around as if from the Monty Python Flying Circus skit "The Minehead by-Election SO1E12 like a latter day "painter from Austria" played by John Cleese, who knows what the Monster was actually trying to say? "Today Piedras Blancas, tomorrow the worlt!" Oh, and let's not forget that Pete played Eddie too in this so at least we know what he looked like in his younger years.

  16. There is one scene at 1.05:09 where the monster comes out carrying Jeanne Carmen (1930-2007) which reminds me of a scene in the Beverly Hillbillies where Jethro Beaudine (Max Baer) carries this cute secretary saying something like "Look what I found Uncle Jed!" Poor Jeanne who ran away from home in her teens and got tossed around by low lifes in Las Vegas until she made it to Hollwood where she met and became friends with Marilyn Monroe and was seen with some famous male celebrties. After Marilyn died, Jeanne left Hollywood raised a family in Arizona, became an avid golfer and made money on the television circuit recounting her relations with the rich and famous.

  17. As mentioned already in the B&W version, a great movie if only Don Sullivan here didn't look like the current prime minister of Canada whose name I shall not mention here but who also preys on human flesh.

  19. First time I've seen this. It gains much of its dramatic power in its shades of FORBIDDEN PLANET: the monster represents the old man's Id, his unconscious feelings about his daughter. Like Morbius, the old man pays in full. But they show the monster much too early on; without that, the climactic revelation would be even stronger – reminiscent of that door opening on the Thing from Outer Space. But it shows what you can do on a shoestring, with good actors. Pity about the special effects.

  21. Only seen this once, as a kid (late '60's). Didn't see it again, 'till the mid '90's, when I taped it. But, NOTHING LIKE THIS!! The color doubles, the enjoyment value, and makes it more relatable!!! Don Sullivan is in this. The star from "The Giant Gila Monster", and "Teenage Zombies"!!!
    Also, because of the colorization, I'm able to see that, this monster looks an awful alot like, the creature in "It, The Terror From Beyond Space".
