This is (I think?) the oldest and most terrifying version of L. Frank Baum’s classic story of a girl finding herself a long way from her home in Kansas. Why is this movie in the Sci-Fi / Horror section? Because Dorothy’s animal companions freak me out. Their costumes look bizarre and it seems like the animals […]
The videos listed here are generally awful, bizarre, or both.
Svengali - 1931
This creepy Svengali guy has the power to control women through hypnotism.

Billie eventually finds out what is going on, and begins to pursue them.
Vampire Over London - 1952
An entry of the “Mother Riley” series with Bela Lugosi. In this one Arthur Lucan playing Mother Riley goes on an adventure with a robot that’s radar controlled by “The Vampire”, a mad scientist bent on controlling the world. This movie is wacky. Arthur doesn’t play a terribly convincing old lady (but still funny), Bela […]

Scientist and Pilot Doug Martin goes missing during a post nuclear test mission. He amazingly arrives back at the base unharmed. When questioned, Doug says he was with Aliens who were planning on taking over the world with their giant monsters and insects. His peers at the base are obviously skeptical. I found the martian […]
Swamp Women - 1956
An undercover policewoman helps three female convicts escape from prison so that they can lead her to a stash of stolen diamonds hidden in a swamp. Really bad early Roger Corman flick.
