When I was eight the name alone scared me.

This picture may well have been the pinnacle of monster movies until ‘the BLOB’ in 1958. But producers sensed that movie goers were becoming jaded with these B-grade films. However audiences were again becoming receptive to pictures with “monsters” in them but they wanted better special effects. Bridging the gap George Romero produced ‘Night of the Living Dead’ with his ready made monsters in the form of those lumbering ghouls who were just extras, but then the floodgates opened to monsters again with the 1979 release of ‘ALIEN’.
