B Movies Blog

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping creature features into the ol’ VCR.

Man, oh man, do I love a good ol’ fashioned creature feature, be it mammal, aquatic, or kaiju. 

That’s the beauty of the creature feature; they have everything from giant spiders and snakes to killer piranhas and sharks to humanoid horrors. 

It’s all-encompassing. 

The genre itself was coined all the way back in the 1960s and referred to the horror/sci-fi movies that would play on networks across the country. They also saw popularity (or, cult following, at the very least) with the help of horror hosts. 

There’s something so charming about the older creature features, and, without them, a lot of our modern favorites wouldn’t exist. 

That’s why I’ve gathered some of my favorites for you today. 

I’m sure there are going to be some thoughts about my selections, but I have no ragrets. 

Also, bear in mind that it was SUPER HARD to narrow this list down. 

Alrighty, that should do us for introductions and disclaimers. 

Without further ado, here are 12 creature features that will send you screaming for the hills: 

• Jaws 
• Crawl 
• The Fly (1958 and 1986)
• Tremors 
• Predator
• The Thing (1982)
• Shark Night 
• Troll Hunter 
• Piranha 3D 
• Zombeavers
