Happy HalloMeme: Part II

It warms my small, icy heart that the HalloMeme was picked-up enthusiastically by so many colleagues in the blogosphere. I've already added a few new ocean horror treats to my must-see list. And since I squandered spent much of my youthful saturday mornings watching reruns of 50's horror flicks, I've still got a few more scary ocean-themed gems to pass along.

To wit, how would childhood dreams ever be the same again after watching The Monster of Piedras Blancas? Replete with a hokey plot involving an old lighthouse, spooky shoreline caves, a convoluted love story, and a "half-human crustacean" sea monster with a penchant for decapitations, this cheapo 50's horror flick had me hiding behind the safety of pillows and checking the closet before heading for bed for years. In fact I still hide behind pillows and check the closets, but that's material for another blog.

If you look closely at the monster, he/she is sporting Metalunan monster feet (from This Island Earth) and Moleman hands from The Mole People. The body suit looks an awful lot like the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Okay, so here's a new cast of victims to receive the Happy HalloMeme:

The Oyster Garter
from Archaea to Zeaxanthol
The Meming of Life
