The Fly freaked me out. it was 1958 and i can still remember the film in detail as if i just saw it a month ago.

The movie is set in Montreal and starts with a watchman finding a man's head and arm crushed beneath a heavy metal press. A woman named Helene Delambre (Patricia Owens) phones her brother-in-law, Francois Delambre (Vincent Price) to tell him that she has just murdered her husband. Francois calls in the police and she admits killing him but refuses to say why. Later, Francois tricks her into telling the story to him and Police Inspector Charas (Herbert Marshall). A Canadian scientist, Andre Delambre (Al Hedison), has invented a teleportation device (although he uses the term 'disintegrater-integrater' in the film). He has a number of setbacks including his first attempt to teleport something live after he believes he has ironed out the earlier problems. The family's pet cat vanishes from one booth but does not appear in the other booth, and all that can be heard is the disintegrated cat's meow. Andre sorts out further problems and as his wife has found out what has happened to the cat, she has him promise not to use animals any more. Then, after what must have been many successful experiments, he manages to transport a small rodent which appears unharmed from the process. Confident in the machine's abilities, he now attempts to transport himself. The first time works, but, unknown to him a fly enters the cabin with him on his second attempt, and the two are hopelessly scrambled together. The scientist emerges as a half-man, half-fly hybrid — a human with a fly's head, leg and arm/claw.
