Jun 21, 2016Aliens Abduct Models
One of the British sf films that came influenced by the Quatermass series. This has the most ridiculous premise of any alien invasion film – an alien is abducting women from ads for models placed in girlie magazines – but is played with a stone-faced seriousness that defies you to laugh

Jan 1, 2016Post-Holocaust Women Rule Society
The second of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's unsold Genesis II pilots. While you can see the series had some potential, the plot about the venture to a society where women keep men as slaves has a giggly silliness that feels like a throwback to 50s films like Queen of Outer Space

Jul 29, 2002Dream-Invading Boogey Man
The point where the A Nightmare on Elm Street series became what everyone remembers, where Robert Englund's Freddy went from a boogeyman into the equivalent of Wile E. Coyote in a Road Runner cartoon, popping up like a malevolent jack-in-a-box to quip a one-liner and dispatch victims in a display of makeup effects virtuosity
