What? No "YOG: Monster from Space"? I remember my dad got that in '83 as a kids' summer matinee at our theatre (Luverne, MN- The Palace Theatre, a great old place). I was 10 and all I really remember about it was the poster, and that it was a Japanese monster-movie. This was back in an age when theatre managers could pick what they played, and playing old schlock was an option for summer matinees. I miss those old days… Dad generally played a different movie every week; a few big things (i.e. E.T.) ran 2 weeks.
I *love* The Giant Claw and Monster From A Prehistoric Planet! They were two of my favourite giant monster movies when I was a kid, and I just acquired them both in a DVD set of, like, 60 classic monster movies for $5 at Wal-mart. Gods, I love having awful taste in movies. Awful taste is CHEAP!
#1: Space Amoeba and Yog are the same movie! 😉
I remember having a lot of fun with this list. A little disappointed at the absence of War of the Gargantua, but otherwise good times. Wish CHUD did more features like this.

This is my all time favorite CHUD list. I enjoyed it so much. Glad to see its revival.
