NIGHT OF THE BLOOD BEAST / ATTACK OF THE GIANT LEECHES (1958-1959)

Executive producer Roger Corman unleashes hideous aqua beasts and horrors from outer space in two of his most memorable thrillers. A mutant stalks the Earth when the body of a dead astronaut is used as an alien incubator in Night of the Blood Beast (1959). Equally revolting is Attack of the Giant Leeches (1958), which stars B-movie siren Yvette Vickers (Attack of the 50-Foot Woman) in a watery scare fest about massive, bloodsucking monsters. The two features were directed by Bernard Kowalski who went on to be Emmy-nominated for his television work, but they are truly representative of Corman's world: cheap, tasteless, and extraordinarily fun.
