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)

A 1958 double feature!

"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)
"Man-Made Monster" (1941, Lon Chaney Jr.)

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)
