For monster films you should really try to see The Trollenberg Terror.
Renamed The Crawling Eye for the US it is the movie version of a BBC TV story from the 50's.
The movie stars Forrest Tucker. It was I believe a British newspaper review of this film that transposed the first letters of his names to Torrest F....................!
It was a lot scarier on TV possibly because of the home invasion possibility and I was younger.

Woodsy replies: I agree Terran, its a classic! The Trollenberg Terror Scared the bejeebers out of me when I saw the first headless climber in the comfort of out TV room! Never before seen anything headless when I was wee monster fan in the Sixties. I'm amazed these films were on TV back then. We only had 3 channels in the UK and black and white monster films were on all the time thank God! Yay!
