Dad's Preview:
Of the many '50's sci-fi horror films, this is one
that stands out. Be it the moment that our young
scientist's concerned wife removes his
black head-cover, or the final confrontation at the garden's
spider-web. This is a primer on the dangers of science purposed
to mutate living creatures for man's benefit. This film
is truly full of moments that will haunt your
nightmares. To watch this film
