And I'm a huge fan of Ray Harryhausen, the man who did special effects in all the old Sinbad movies, Mighty Joe Young, and a bunch of other films. This was one of my favorite Saturday afternoon movies:

Saw all 3 on different occasions at the Park on Broadway near Gay St. Paid 25 cents to get in and watched 2 other movies.

The Tingler scared my movie buddy.....along with The Green Slime.

Those 3 or 4 lizards should have featured in a video for Gladys Knight.

Release the Kraken is Classic.

And how can we forget Jason and the Argonauts. That was the equivalent of a Summer Blockbuster way back when. Saw it at least 5 times.

A lot of these movies were broadcast in Baltimore on a daily movie show at 4. I think it was called twilight movie. Food of the Gods was on nearly every 2 months.

And going back to the lizards.....they all ended up in the unemployment line..... when Godzilla, King Kong, Mothra, Ghidora hit the scene.....I was done with those gila monsters for good.

Yes, I guess. I remember when I got my first good job, I wanted a VCR so bad like everyone in my office that I went out and financed one through a department store in Philly. That's how expensive there were at the time.Shortly after graduating, I remember one of my best friends from high school excitedly playing a song in his apartment. He asked if I liked the fidelity and when I told him I did, he said it was a digital CD. He paid $800 for the player.

"Loren!" I said, probably louder than I meant to. "You know that's going to cost half that in a year."

"I don't want it in a year," he calmly replied. I thought about it and realized that he was right. Shoot, we might all be dead in a year. And although I tend to wait technology trends out until competition arises, I will buy it sooner if I like it enough.

Shortly after graduating, I remember one of my best friends from high school excitedly playing a song in his apartment. He asked if I liked the fidelity and when I told him I did, he said it was a digital CD. He paid $800 for the player.

"Loren!" I said, probably louder than I meant to. "You know that's going to cost half that in a year."

"I don't want it in a year," he calmly replied. I thought about it and realized that he was right. Shoot, we might all be dead in a year. And although I tend to wait technology trends out until competition arises, I will buy it sooner if I like it enough.

I hear you. That first VCR cost $580.00. I can remember paying a guy $70 to repair it. I did not get my first CD player until 1990!

That was either "Evil Dead I" or "Evil Dead 2" with Bruce Campbell. They were cheesy as heck but the first one is considered to be one of the most influential horror films since "Night of the Living Dead". I never finished watching them, either. I love even bad sci-fi, but I can't watch horror flicks because they tend to be formulaic and boring. Usually, the ones that people say are "scary" are only because they turn up the volume on sound effects and music to try to get you to jump out of your seat.

But "Salem Lot" was the ONE that got me. It scared me good when was 19, home alone and kept hearing things I thought downstairs in the house. I watched half of it this afternoon at the link I posted.

I plan to. Haven't seen it in 30 years. When I worked in a group home for young men in the '90s, one of them begged me to rent "It" one day for movie night. I asked him why and he recalled how scary it was when Pennywise told him that "Down here, everything floats!" For some reason, I paid attention to that when I saw both versions of "It" and it is a creepy line. And the little boy vampire in "Salem's Lot" still gives me chills.

If you get a chance, NY63, watch NOS4A2. It's based on a book written by Stephen King's son and it's got some genuine creeps in it. Regarding Stephen King, I gave up watching movies based on his books because the movies all fail to understand what keeps me jumping in the printed word. His books are great. Have you read the Dark Tower books? One of the greatest writing projects in history IMO.

The first books in the "Dark Tower" series were excellent but the final one was disappointing. Stephen King confessed to not finding them easy to write.I enjoyed them all because he put every one of his other books in the same universe. How could you easily write eight books that were full of Easter eggs from literally every novel you wrote in a long and prolific career? I know a guy who has read every one of his books and he probably ran back and reread them after the Dark Tower. And if I didn't make my opinion clear, that trash movie was a trashy trash dumpster fire of movie trash. But I expected it to be, so I'm only upset that they blew the chance to do something good.
