Join Leslie and Sam as they dive into the campy creature feature Attack of the Crab Monsters (1957). Directed by Roger Corman, this sci-fi horror classic embodies the atomic-age fear and excitement of 1950s monster movies. The film takes viewers to a remote island where a group of scientists and Navy personnel are investigating the aftermath of atomic tests that have unleashed strange and deadly consequences.

As they explore the island, the group soon discovers they’re not alone—giant, mutated crabs are stalking them. These monstrous creatures are not only growing stronger with each kill but also absorbing the minds of their victims, gaining their memories and intelligence. With each attack, the stakes rise as the survivors must find a way to escape before they fall prey to the crabs' sinister and ever-growing power.

So, get ready for some atomic-age thrills and join us as we venture into Attack of the Crab Monsters. It’s a creature feature that will have you cheering for the campy charm and classic scares of the 1950s!
