The B Movie Creature Feature Hall of Fame

I worded that poorly. I don't know how they did at the box office, but I meant made with the intention of being a huge movie.

But then you have to eliminate The Thing, and then King Kong, and then something else. And then 10 years down the road when someone is looking at the Hall of Fame results, they're going to wonder where all the best movies are, which is what the Hall of Fame means. That's why I think B movie creature feature is a great idea, but when I look at this thread, I see hardly anything that fits into that category in the spirit of how I know it.

I'm cool with however this Hof is done There seems to be different ideas as to what is a Creature Feature?

If we take the term Creature Feature literally, then it sounds to me like any movies with creatures that eat, scare or mess with humans.

But if we take the definition of Creature Feature from the Wiki link, then it sounds to me like we're talking about the types of low B budget films that were shown on late night Creature Feature TV shows. From the wiki link.

I use to watch one of the Creature Feature shows, late night they would play old B budget films (horror, horror-sci fi). I remember watching many old Vincent Price horror films; House of Wax, House of Usher, The Raven, The Haunted Palace

So if we go by the Wiki definition, those horror Vincent Price films should all count. But there's no creatures in them.

Yup, those old Vincent Price flicks, were fun old movies! Gosh, I use to stay up till 2 am trying to watch those as a kid on Friday night. That was a million years ago.

We've talked about what is and isn't a B movie.

IMO, a B budget film was intentionally made with low production values as it was intended for Sunday Matinee audiences usually with kids watching. Later the intended market was a double feature at a late night drive in. The films weren't made all that well because they knew the teens wouldn't be watching them too closely anyway.

So it's not so much about the cost of the film but who it was made for.

It doesn't have to be as strict as the wiki page. I said before, I'd be a little more loosey ~goosey, I just want the majority of the movies to be in the pocket of a creature feature.

I always think of a creature feature is a creature that occurs in nature but may or may not have some sort of science~fiction element to it (see Prophecy) then that creature commences to eat the hell out of people. Like Anaconda, Sharktopus, Piranna, Malibu Shark Attack, Snow Shark, Arachnid, Them! Empire of the Ants.

All those examples are what creature features are to me.

Little Otik is a brilliant film but surely it's not a B movie!

I'm out. These just aren't B-movie creature features. Sorry. I'm sure I'll be in the thread, though.

Maybe we could split this into 2 Creature Feature Hofs? I think there's enough interest. One could be what most people would consider as a conventional B-movie creature features. The other could be more unconventional movies allowed.

Let's not and say we did.

Swan, have you ever ordered a pizza for a group of friends? It's near impossible to have 1 pizza suit everyone. Ya know, there's always one guy who hates mushrooms, another who hates olives, then there's the person who wants everything on the pizza and the girl who will only eat cheese.

So, I always order several pizzas. It keeps people happier that way.

I already told you that I'm sitting this one out, so you can order anything you want on your pizza. Even anchovies if it will make you happy.

Hi GBG, I wasn't thinking about you. I was thinking about HoneyKid's post:

That's why I suggested 2 Creature Hofs.

The girl who will only eat cheese is NOT suppose to be you. I would thought you would have known me better than that.

Yeah, I knew that you were talking about Honeykid's post, but I'm usually "The girl who will only eat cheese" at the party.

You've never mentioned to me that you only like cheese pizza, so I would have no way of knowing that. I wasn't thinking of you when I made my post, that's the honest truth.

I seen that Honeykid was unhappy with a creature feature that allowed non-creature movies and so he didn't want to join.

I wanted to help and I hoped he would join, so I suggested that there could be 2 creature feature Hofs....

When I read Swan's post that he didn't think so. I thought I would explain my reasoning in an analogize type story, using ordering pizza for a group.

But then you thought I was poking fun at you with the 'girl who only eats cheese pizza'. I wasn't thinking of you or anyone here at MoFo. I would never intentionally say something to be mean to you. I know other people have been teasing you lately about the restaurants, but that's not what I was doing.

I've been a loyal friend to you for years, I wouldn't be mean. Now I'm bummed out by all this.

You're taking this more seriously than anybody else.

I wouldn't take it too bad. Gb thinks everything is about her. You could say your butt itches and she'd think you were talking about her.

your butt itches.

CR, I think GBG was only joking with you

Why don't you guys have a creature feature HoF and a B movie HoF ?

Could I get you extra anchovies?

Just for the record, yes, I was only joking.
