Mine are actually tv schlock horror pieces, that left a big impression on me as
a kid. There's three:
1. "Let's Scare Jessica to Death" (thank God I wasn't alone when I saw it; I
was under a tent with my cousin Linda in my livingroom).
2. "Trilogy of Terror," with Karen Black. This has to take, hands down, the
award for being the scariest, craziest most out of control bizarro narrative
out there. Yeesh. My skin crawls thinking about it.
3. "Bad Ronald." Good Grief, what a creep fest this one is. Who the hell ever
came up with this in their tristed imaginations?
The last from my psychedelic 70's childhood I saw in a theatre, where daddy was
friends with the projectionist, and I got to sit in the booth and play with
film cans:
4. "Arnold," starring Roddy McDowall and Stella Stevens. What a hoot that film
was. Why dad took me is beyond me. I guess for making up for all the Disney
stuff I dragged him to. But he managed to get this kind of stuff in as well as
Brynner's "Westworld." (It was the first feature film to use digital image
processing.) Yikes. It has all made me a very well-rounded person.
Don't know if these have been mentioned, but there's the perenially creepy
"Eyes Without a Face," subtitles won't bother you and "Peeping Tom."
Chiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllsssssssss!!!!!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
