That was a great movie in its time. The Time Machine itself, IMO, is the archetype of steampunk and as much an icon of science fiction as Robby the Robot and The Enterprise.

Yes, but it was really tough getting it up the stairs.

LOL, now you have me curious. Was this one of the ones Tipper Gore was playing backwards for the senate in the ‘80s claiming they had devil voices or something?

The claim was that, played backwards, you would hear "someone sang this song for Satan."

There was no explanation as to why anyone would endeavor to listen for a secret message in the Mr. Ed theme song.

His voice was that of Alan “Rocky” Lane, a movie cowboy of the early ‘50s.
