    #nowwatching The Black Scorpion @mst3kofficial.bsky.social version on Tubi. Figured I’d keep the giant insect movies up and I just noticed movie also has Richard Denning in it. Another movie read about in kids monster books before seeing. Godzilla bless those books. #monstermarchmadness #films

    Just finished watching The Black Scorpion (1957) on @svengoolieofficial.bsky.social. The FX by Willis O’Brien (King Kong) are mostly wonderful, w/camera moves rarely seen in stop-motion. Incredibly, the production ran out of money and the miniature work had to be finished in O'Brien's garage.

    We were visiting my grandfather in Ireland when I was a kid when my mother noticed that THE BLACK SCORPION would be on TV at 2 AM. She sent me to bed early, then woke me just before 2 with tea and cookies. We watched the movie and I fell in love with Mara Corday. RIP. deadline.com/2025/05/mara...

    #ACenturyOfCinema continues, 1957! I'm surprised I hadn't heard of THE BLACK SCORPION before - the crappy image on the poster suggests this is a Roger Corman cheapie but in fact the film uses a lot of stop-motion animation for its creature fx, relying on the dumb head for close-ups. #filmsky #scifi

    -Million Dollar Baby has a lot of gross anti-welfare propaganda in it. Had no idea about the ending; just wanted to see a muscular woman punch stuff. -The Phantom is solid at being an earnest adventure serial type film, should've been funnier. -DNF Black Scorpion -The Gift was highly mannered Raimi.

    I do enjoy a good cheesy giant insect/animal monster movie. I legit enjoy THE BLACK SCORPION, even without the MST3K riffing. Willis O’Brien’s stop motion holds up so damn well.

    Season 2 is tough, because The Side Hackers and Catalina Caper are exactly what they want to be, what they want to be is, respectively, angry and annoying. Could go Lost Continent for the same reason I went with Black Scorpion, but the best film might be First Spaceship on Venus. It's bland but fine
