Destroy All Monsters is terrible.
Not so fun fact: it is the lowest rated movie in the Criterion collection both on IMDB and on Letterboxd.

Swithin, I used to get confused as well with those hunchback characters. Your "hunch" (sorry) is correct -- Naish is the one in HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. He falls in love with a gypsy girl (Elena Verdugo, who has eyes for someone else...) Poor Daniel.

Won't disagree with you. But it was
the first Godzilla movie that I ever saw on
the big screen and that was when I was
the ideal age for such a movie. So it gets a pass from me just on
the basis
of nostalgia.

Nice line up

I love
The Undead, it's funny and creepy and unusual, a sort
of Search for Bridey Murphy-influenced horror.
SPOILER:
The Leech Woman is also great and features some great lines. Estelle Helmsley, playing Old Malla, a member
of the Nando tribe, says to Coleen Gray: "You will never divorce your husband. You won't have to. He will die. His death will give you life. A new way
of life. You may run away but you will never escape me. YOU ARE
THE ONE IN MY DREAMS
OF BLOOD!"

Vincent Price goes on possibly the screen's first LSD trip in THE TINGLER, airing tonight.

Of course though, LSD wasn't illegal yet when
The Tingler was made. I guess it provides some interest, since
The Tingler is pretty silly stuff, although
the scene with
the creature loose in a movie theatre has some panache
