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
positive · AI labelView post →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.

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...

Starring Richard Denning and Mara Corday, the movie featured stop-motion animation by Willis O'Brien. #horror #horrormovie #Kaiju #scifi #horrorfam #sciencefiction
neutral · AI labelView post →#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

This movie is all about the Big Bad, and these beady-eyed, frothing-at-the-mouth, whiptail-stinging nightmares are still surprisingly terrifying #Horror365Challenge #MutantFam

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.
negative · AI labelView post →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.

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
