Attack of the Killer Tomatoes

[Nyboy]

Had no clients today because of snow, watched Attack of the killer tomatoes on youtube. Not sure what was funnier hair or clothes from the 70s. Whats your favorite B movie ?

I remember a movie Uncle Doug took us to called, "THE TINGLER". It scared the daylights out of me at the tender age of 10-ish.

I have waited to see it again.

It hasn't been on the late night movies; not on the late, late night movies; not on the late, late, late night movies. It wasn't on Elvira or on Svengoolie. Nowhere! Perhaps it doesn't classify as a B movie -- maybe C or D, but I have wished I could watch it again to see how stupid it would seem to someone older than 10.

Thank God for the internet! SmartRed: https://archive.org/details/PhantasmagoriaTheater-TheTingler1959246-2. At 1:21:33, it looks like it might be the whole thing.

I have seen "Attack of the Killer Klowns" but not "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes." Might just want to watch that out of curiosity. I thought that Killer Klowns was great, and especially for an older movie.

Can somebody explain the hole "B" "C" "D" movie thing to me? I've never heard of it before.

No such thing as C or D movies. Just my attempt to explain why my 'favorite'? movie didn't even make the joke monster movie shows on television.

As I understand it, a B movie is one made with low budget and unknown actors (usually) that are geared to teen-agers as a second movie after the main 'A' film.

B-mov·ie
noun

1. 1. a low-budget movie, esp. (formerly) one made for use as a companion to the main attraction in a double feature.
   
   Also From Wikipedia
   B movies
   Although the U.S. production of movies intended as second features largely ceased by the end of the 1950s, the term B movie continued to be used in the broader sense it maintains today. In its post–Golden Age usage, there is ambiguity on both sides of the definition: on the one hand, many B movies display a high degree of craft and aesthetic ingenuity; on the other, the primary interest of many inexpensive exploitation films is prurient. In some cases, both may be true.

What is with this free movies on YouTube?

Is there a way to find the ones that are complete or do we just search for each title and check minutes? I didn't know that any would be complete or even "longer."

I had to go in for a 2hr appt midday yesterday. Kind of messed up my day. So, I joined DW in front of the teevee for an episode of Gunsmoke and Big Valley. Were we talking cliches?
