How Well Do You Remember the 1960s Monster Craze on TV, Movies & More?
Monsters were everywhere in the 1960s — especially on TV! Sci-fi chills from The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, plus spooky laughs from The Munsters and The Addams Family, fueled America’s monster mania. Meanwhile, Don Knotts delivered laughs in The Ghost and Mr. Chicken, Roger Corman’s The Little Shop of Horrors brought us outer-space plants, and the Hammer horror films brought more thrills to movie theaters. Add creepy Aurora monster model kits, monster comics and magazines, plus the unforgettable hit “The Monster Mash,” and you had a full-blown ghoulie craze!
