OMG this is awesome. I haven't seen this movie in years... definitely going to watch this now.

THAT BIRD ATTACKED ME

I saw The Terror a jillion times as a teenager (and now will probably watch it again, thanks!) but it's only recently that I watched Targets, the sorta-kinda bonus movie that Peter Bogdanovich made when Roger Corman offered him two more contract days of Boris Karloff* and some footage from The Terror.

*When Karloff realized it wasn't going to be another gothic potboiler but a comment on his screen persona, he ended up sticking around for several extra days. He's tremendous in the film, this odd combination of sympathetic and imperious and fun.

I watched The Terror with my wife, when we were picking through a cheap collection of horror movies we picked up on a whim. It was weird, but what else can you expect from Roger Corman? I'm happy that there are high quality transfers of these movies that fell out of copyright, saving people from buying cheap DVDs of questionable quality.
