Last night I took a look at the classic British horror anthology Dead of Night. Today’s Saturday Matinee movie is a not-quite-so-classic anthology from 1967. It does star two of horrordom’s great classic actors, though: John Carradine and Lon Chaney Jr. Also featuring Rochelle Hudson, who acted with everyone from Will Rogers to James Dean, here’s GALLERY OF HORROR:

Horror on the Lens: Attack of the Crab Monsters (dir by Roger Corman)
For today’s horror on the lens, we have the 1957 science fiction film, Attack of the Crab Monsters!
About a month ago, I watched this film along with Patrick Smith and all of our friends in the late night movie gang. To be honest, everyone else seemed to enjoy it a lot more than I did. It was a fun little movie but … well, maybe I was just having a bad night.
Here’s why you should take 62 minutes out of your Saturday and watch Attack of the Crab Monsters on the Shattered Lens. First off, it’s a Roger Corman film and anything directed by Roger Corman automatically needs to be watched. Secondly, it’s about giant crabs that communicate through telepathy. And when was the last time you saw that!?
(“Last night,” someone in the audience shouts, “as the sun went down over the crab-covered beaches of Denmark!” I pretend not to hear.)
Anyway! Here, for your viewing pleasure, is Attack of the Crab Monsters!
