Does anyone remember this old 60's flick?
It goes down as one of the first horror movies I ever saw.The story ,from what I remember,is set on an island that has these weird turtle like monsters with long tentacles that litterally suck the bones from people.It starred Peter Cushing and it may have been b/w.I have not seen this movie in over 30+ years but allways remembered it scaring the shit out of me back when I was a young kid.Any thoughts on Island of Terror.

Is this film on DVD? I've always wanted to see it, but I can't seem to find an affordable VHS copy. Peter Cushing is my second favorite actor of all time, just behind Vincent Price.

I saw part of it on AMC not to long ago. It was in color. The monsters were pretty cheesy looking. I remember Cushing in it but he wasnt the main star.

Island Of Terror is terrific fun. The image in the first post is the recent dvd release which is an excellent print.
Yes the effects are cheesy but the film itself is still a whole lot of fun.Cushing and Edward Judd chasing around after silicon based life forms, what else could you ask for ?
