r/movies on Reddit: Need 1950s horror movie suggestions
July 15, 2024 -

I'm looking to watch one of those campy, cheesy 1950s horror movies, does anyone have any suggestions for any good ones? Something with the 1950s style, but still a good horror movie, like with aliens, monsters, etc. Something with the scary vibe of a horror movie, something cool, something that could be enjoyed today.

Does anybody have any suggestions? If so, then please list any in the comment section down below.
