Oh, all right. I have been holding out. It's more a psychological thriller that flat out horror film (I just watched it for the first time in how many years, last week), but it is horrifying: Has anyone out there seen "SSSSSSS"? Makes "Snakes on a Plane" look like a pre-school romper room. Strother Martin (in the role of Dr. Stoner) and the fetching Dirk Benedict are quite game in this, another personality shaper of mine, from the early '70s. Eileen, I wish I knew the name of the film, sounds just awful, but reminds me of how "Jaws" and "Rollercoaster" respectively ruined family trips to Florida beaches and Cedar Point Amusement Park in Ohio. And I will never forgive my mother for dragging me to Gloucester when I wanted to stay home so I could see the Stones. Childhood's a wicked thing, hahaha.

All these movies bring back memories of my babysitting days. Growing up in Chicago, it was Svengoolie for me. Sometimes I remember his parodies more than the movies. He did make me a fan of the cheesy 50's horror movies. Giant Gila Monster anybody. Ray Kellogg seemed to be trying to throw in everything but the kitchen sink. Anybody: What is the name of the movie with the giant grasshoppers drowning in Lake Michigan? I did not want to go anywhere near the beach after than one.
