I LOVE SSSSSSSsssss.  I bought a copy not too long ago.  For myself, not the 
library.  Although...

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.

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.
