TCM plays a monster movie marathon again tonight, and if this is just a June thing, tonight's your last night to catch it. On tap tonight are:
8 PM: The Blob (1958) - Yes, the original version of the slime monster from outer space, also starring a young Steve McQueen.
9:30 PM: The H-Man (1958) - Singer, detective, and the rest of Tokyo fear slimy blobs. From the cast names, this looks to be a Japanese flick.
11 PM: The Magnetic Monster (1953) - Scientists give energy-eating isotope 900,000,000 volts. Sounds like a really intelligent thing to do... >>;
12:30 AM: X the Unknown (1956) - Nuke researcher spots throbbing mud from center of Earth.
2 AM: The Thing From Another World (1951) - The original classic about an arctic expedition that discovers a blood-eating alien under the ice.
3:30 AM: It! The Terror From Beyond Space (1958) - Astronauts returning from Mars are menaced by a stowaway. Another classic that was a precursor to the Alien series.
4:45 AM: Watch the Skies - A nice documentary about the history of the science fiction genre, hosted by Mark Hamill.
All times are Eastern.
