Title Of Old Horror Movie (late 1950’s Or Earlyl 1960’s)?
NEW VIDEOS DAILY
I’m trying to find the title of an old horror movie. My cousins made me stay in the room and watch it with them when I was about 6 years old. It scared me to death back then (mid-60’s).
The parts of the movie that I remember:
1. It was a black & white film
2. Some type of weird creature-like things lived underneath a lake, maybe in a cave.
3. There were divers that tried to find the monsters in the lake and when other men pulled them out, their flesh was gone.
4. Near the end of the movie, some men went under the lake and found the cave where the creatures had kept a woman. I think they had fed off of her by drinking her blood or something. She was really weak (I don’t know if she lived).
5. In the end, they threw dynamite into the lake to kill the creatures.
I was just curious if anyone here was a horror movie buff and knew the name of the movie.
