In the bleak future world of the year 2500, women have eliminated male aggression and taken over the world. Men's only job is to look pretty and pleasure the womenfolk in harems, as you can see from this awesome clip from Last Exit To Earth. But then these too-pretty men become sterile, and suddenly all the fun goes out of sex. Good thing there's still lava lamps. Click through for another clip. (First clip may be NSFW.) More »

Do you remember that episode of the Simpsons where Homer gets covered with seaweed and toxic waste, and everybody mistakes him for a sea monster? Me neither. But apparently it was filmed in 1961 and directed by the one-and-only Roger Corman. The Homer resemblance in this poor creature is pretty unmistakable — he obviously just wants a donut, and everybody is freaking out and attacking him. To be honest, the sea monster in Creature From The Haunted Sea looks better underwater, as you can see in our second clip. More »

A new documentary will look at Roger Corman's amazing career as a movie producer, spanning from the 1950s to the present, including classics like Death Race 2000 and Attack Of The Crab Monsters. The documentary King Of The Bs: The Independent Life Of Roger Corman looks especially at his contributions to genre cinema, including horror/comedy film Little Shop Of Horrors. The film will interview creators who started out with Corman, including Martin Scorsese (Boxcar Bertha), John Sayles (Battle Beyond The Stars), Jonathan Demme (Caged Heat), Ron Howard (Eat My Dust!), Timur Bekmambetov (The Arena) and maybe Francis Ford Coppola (Dementia 13). The film maybe done in time for next May's Cannes Film Festival. [Fangoria] More »

One of the most demented things about Roger Corman's 1959 flick Attack of the Giant Leeches is the way the leeches seem to sort of make love to their victims. Trapped in the mega-leeches' slimy cave in Florida, the humans in this scene are being given the old gigantic suction treatment. And at least one of them sounds like she's moaning in pleasure. More »

Here's the action-packed climax of Roger Corman's Fantastic Four, which Marvel reportedly paid millions to suppress. In this version, Reed Richards' main superpower is the ability to telegraph his punches worse than Tom Selleck. And the Thing's greatest gift is the ability to move as though he were in a full-body cast. As B movies go, Fantastic isn't so bad, but it makes some very questionable story choices. More »

Roger Corman made three different versions of Not Of This Earth, his story about an alien who needs human blood. There was the 1955 black-and-white version, and the campy 1988 Traci Lords version. But most people agree that the 1995 remake finally got it right. In this scene, Michael York uses his mind-control voice to slow down a shiny-haired girl , then burns out her eyes with his eye-rays. Once she's helpless, he drains her blood with an evil blood-sucking machine. The rest of the movie turns into York posing as an anemic millionaire and hypnotizing the medical establishment into giving him lots of blood transfusions, but we prefer this stalkery moment. More »
