8/5/78 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Beast of Hollow Mountain" (1956, F/X: Willis O' Brien)

8/12/78 - Sat. 2p-5p
"I, Monster" (1971; Christopher Lee)
"Monster from the Surf" (1965)
8/19/78 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Terror of the Tongs" (1961; Christopher Lee)
"The Giant Claw" (1957)
Love "The Giant Claw"! Loathe "...Tongs"
8/26/78 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Curse of the Mummy's Tomb" (1964)
"The Curse of Dracula" (1958)
9/2/78 - Sat. 2p-5p

9/9/78 - Sat. 2p-5p
"It Came from Beneath the Sea" (1955)
"Before I Hang" (Karloff, 1940)
"It Came..." was always a fun feature. Karloff unfortunately made a plethora of fantastic crime dramas that barely qualify as horror films.
9/8/79 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Voyage Into Space" (1968)
"Valley of the Dragons"
"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.

8/2/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Night of the Blood Beast" (1958)
"An Angel for Satan" (1966, Italy; Barbara Steele)
"An Angel..." - good selection
8/9/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Doomwatch" (1972)
"The 27th Day" (1957)
I recall seeing a color still from "Doomwatch" in one of my '70s horror movie hardcover books. Always wanted to see it based on that still! Never did, though. I must have missed this on Crea Fea, unfortunately.
8/16/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Track of the Vampire" (1966, William Campbell)
"Sound of Horror" (1965, Italy; Soledad Miranda)
I'm surprised they're referring to the first feature as "Track..." and not "Blood Bath" - what Crea Fea typically called it. This was one of my favorites. "Sound..." is an interesting selection.
8/23/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Fabulous Baron Munchausen" (1959, Czechoslovakia)
"Creature with the Atom Brain" (1955)
Typically, I was never thrilled to see "Baron Munchausen", but grew to appreciate it over the years. The effects were very unique and if I recall, some of the scenes were tinted bizarre colors.
8/30/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Horror of Frankenstein" (1971, Hammer; Ralph Bates)
Only one feature this week; the second pre-empted by football.
9/6/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The X from Outer Space" (1966)
"The Man with 9 Lives" (Karloff, 1940)
9/13/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Curse of the Living Corpse" (1963)
"Zombies of Mora Tau" (1957)
"Curse..." was one of my favorite Creature Feature films. It features Roy Scheider in an early role and a decapitated head served on a platter! Somehow I always managed to miss "Zombies of Mora Tau".
- Andy
9/20/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Gorgon" (1964, Hammer; Cushing/Lee)

9/27/80 - Sat. 2p-5p

John Agar double-feature!
10/4/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Evil of Frankenstein" (1964, Hammer; Peter Cushing)
"The Projected Man" (1967, Bryant Halliday)
10/11/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Zontar, the Thing from Venus" (1966)
"Attack of the Puppet People" (1958, John Hoyt)
Yet another John Agar double-feature!
10/18/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Eye Creatures" (1965, John Ashley)
"Dinosaurus" (1960)
Larry Buchanan R.I.P. 2004
10/25/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Slaughter of the Vampires" (1961)
"It Conquered the World" (1956, Dir. Roger Corman)
11/1/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Lost Continent" (1968, Hammer)
"Invasion of the Saucer Men" (1957, Frank Gorshin)
11/8/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Kiss of the Tarantula" (1972)
"The Spider" (1958)
A very cool arachnid double-feature! "Kiss..." was a real treat!
11/15/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Blood of the Vampire" (1958)
"Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" (1972)
WOW!!! "Children..." arrives!!! One of my faves! I didn't see this on Crea Fea, but I can just imagine what a thrill this must have been to see on Crea Fea in 1980. Unreal. The good titles just keep on coming. See "The Alien Factor" next entry.
11/22/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Alien Factor" (1978, Dir. Don Dohler)
"The Electronic Monster" (1958)
I recall seeing the cover of "Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine with one of the creatures from "The Alien Factor" on it, and was hooked. I do recall seeing this episode. Unforgettable!
11/29/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"This Island Earth" (1955, Rex Reason, Faith Domergue)
"The Devil Doll" (1964, Bryant Halliday)
Yet another outstanding double-feature. "The Devil Doll" is another favorite. Halliday (also in "The Projected Man") is excellent. The ventriloquist dummy "Hugo" is the stuff of nightmares!
12/6/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Flesh Eaters" (1964)
"Beast of Hollow Mountain" (1956, F/X: Willis O' Brien)
Great titles, do not stop! "The Flesh Eaters" is recognized as one of the first gore films (along with the full-color "Blood Feast"). Although tamer, it featured grisly effects for the time.
12/13/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Plan 9 from Outer Space" (1959; Dir. Ed Wood, Lugosi)
"They Saved Hitler's Brain" (1964)
Would you believe my mom is one up on me? She managed to see "They Saved Hitler's Brain" on late-night TV - and I still haven't seen it yet! I must have been at the game rooms in 1980.
12/20/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Die, Monster, Die" (1965, Karloff)
"Varan the Unbelievable" (1962)
Another good double-feature. "Die..." was based on "The Colour Out of Space" by H.P. Lovecraft.
12/27/80 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Monster from the Surf" (1965, John Hall)
"Curse of the Mummy's Tomb" (1964)
1/3/81 - Sat. 2p-5p
"The Deadly Bees" (1967, Scr: Robert Bloch)
"The Giant Claw" (1957)
9/12/81 - Sat. 2p-5p
"Phantom of the Opera" (Hammer, 1962)
"The Brides of Dracula" (Hammer, 1960)
A notable Hammer double-feature. Seeing the Herbert Lom version of "Phantom..." always made me want to see the Lon Chaney original, which was typically not available in the days before video. "Brides..." is a great Hammer vampire classic.
Thankfully I have most of these on DVD but I've spotted a couple titles I had forgotten all about.
