sometimes i wish that i had been around and maybe 12-15 years old during the heyday of the universal monster releases.
just imagine being 12 years old and going to the saturday matinee to see the newly released frankenstein for the first time.
that would be awesome!

i wish i was the guy who found the creature from the black lagoon suit in the studio garbage bin.
i'd be sitting around in it watching TV every night.

I loved that movie, Urge. You'd have to send me pictures of you in the Creature From the Black Lagoon outfit, maybe kissing your good wife and holding a beer. That would be great!:D
I think that if I would have been 12-15 years old when Nosferatu came out, that movie would have scare the be-jesus outta me.

And if you walked around like that where I live, you'd simply get kicked to fuck.

my dad saw dracula and frankenstein on the re-release in 39 in a small town in texas and says he stayed up at night for a week terrified that every creak was the monster coming to get him

The only real movie memories I have from the 70's aren't horror. I guess I was still just a little too young. Star Wars is one of the first movies I vividly remember my trip to the theatre for. I can't remember which theatre, but my dad went in early and wound up seeing the ending first. He could barely contain himself when we got around to the end again. The rest of us were on line for candy and popcorn.
I really saw horror movies first on TV and video, so a lot of them were older ones.
I would love to have experienced the old Universal Monsters as new releases, but think of the times we would have had to endure. No internet. No cell phones. No Ford Mustang. >>>shudder<<<<

Oh man, when I think of the suits I had as a kid. For awhile I was fooled into thinking that they just looked that way because I was a kid and then I saw pictures from the time and realized ALL clothes were that terrible.
On topic, just saw THe Invisible Man on cable again tonight. Love that movie except for the ending. A little too sudden and convenient for me.

Uh,the keep on trucken guy is Mr. Natural.About,three years ago, I got into collecting cards and I bought a set of cards of universal pictures monsters.All the classics.Frankinstien,Wolfman,C from the Black L,all of them.About seventy in the set. Then, I bought another set and another and another. Gaaa! It sort of got out of hand. I may need an intervention.
