True. One of the movies that haunted me as a youth was "Invaders From Mars" (1953). I couldn't stop thinking about how great that movie was. Years later when they released it on VHS, I bought it and watched it, and couldn't believe why I had ever thought it was an awesome flick. Of course, when you're six years old, a movie like that will make an impression on you.
For the longest time I'd been trying to locate the series "Thriller" hosted by Boris Karloff. It aired in the 60's. Finally, I found an on-line supplier and bought the whole set (17 discs). Besides loving Boris Karloff, the programs really are pretty good, and feature a whole bunch of well-known stars from the 50's and 60's. I've still got about 7 discs left to watch. All in all, it was a great purchase for me.

OMG there were so many:

Andy Griffith
My Little Margie, just to name a few.
HAd the same reaction to “Invaders from Mars”(1953). As a kid, it scared the bejeebers out of me. I was delighted to see it again about ten years ago by accident—sat down and watched it all the way through.
