Who can forget "teenage" Robert Vaughn and Frank DeKova in Teenage Caveman? A lot of people, apparently.

Robert Vaughn's performance in this cutting edge sociological comment arthouse cineastic gem is absolutely compelling, he was really born for the role.

And Neanderthalmen did age faster, you know.  ;D

I am a fan of The Raven with Karloff, Vincent Price and Peter Lorre (and a young Jack Nicholson).  Great movie with odd period special effects, and lots of portentous dialog spoken in foreboding tones of doom. It could easily be a two-beer movie.

A lot of Corman’s stuff had that “so bad, it’s good”-factor, that is no mean feat. The eyes-plucked-out scene stuck with me forever and made me a fan of that particular bible quote. :mrgrren: The Raven was good, true.

I *love* "Little Shop Of Horrors"...would like to re-visit "The Trip" once again after 40+ years. Enjoyed some of the Poe-based-stuff as well.

RIP, sir.

In the early years of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K), their hilarious (IMO) commentary on this movie was one that really solidified their reputation.
