Living in NY as a kid, we had each weekend, Chiller Theatre (WPIX-ch11), which the intro used to scare me to death with scenes from various monster movies, like Plan9 and She Devils.
Later on, Zacherlie used to host it, at night, after his afternoon kids show with cartoons. He also did a stint on WNEW-FM.....once saw him open for the Grateful Dead on Haloween!

Steve guttenburg in "Don't Tell Her It's Me".
Whoopie Goldberg in "Sister Act" and "Sister Act 2". Anything with rosie O'Donnell. All the "Look who's Talking" movies. Frightening!

Mine are all from the atom-age fifties and include "20 Million Miles to Earth", "X the Unknown", "The Monolith Monsters", "The Giant Behemoth", "Kronos", "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms", and "Caltiki, The Immortal Monster". I also really enjoyed "The Black Scorpion".

Lots of favorites - "Rodan" was probably the first Japanese giant monster movie I saw as a kid - maybe 5 or 6 when I first saw it. When a trio of police are wading through the flooded mine shaft - tethered together by a rope - and one of them is seized by an (unseen) giant insect larvae, dragging him and the others to a horrible off-screen doom - that was one of the scariest things my young eyes had ever seen.
Another awesome scene - when the mine engineer ends up separated from the others in the rescue party - he's trapped in a huge cavern filled with dozens of the giant carnivorous insects. Then the Rodan hatches from an egg - and the once terrifying monster insects are instantly reduced in stature to merely tasty grubs, which the hatchling hungrily devours - the contrast between the monsters in size and menace is amazing - and I don't think the emotional effect has ever been duplicated before or since this film was released.

There was some dreadful movie I remember catching just a snatch of when I was a tadpole..it had something to do w/these things that looked like horseshoe crabs, that would attach themselves to yr back, & w/this HORRIBLE squishing sound, would suck all the life out of you. They COULD be pulled off right at first, as some guy did to this girl-one had just landed on her-they flew, too- but that's about all I remember about it.The noise they made was sorta like the noise you make when swirling water around in yr mouth, when rinsing yr teeth...

Tarantula (1955)
The Thing from Another World (1951) Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954) / Revenge of the Creature (1955) / The Creature Walks Among Us (1956) for some reason B&W is scarier than color
