Freepers who grew up in Northern California may remember Bob Wilkins and Creature Features.

The only time I saw House of Wax was in 3-D, many years ago in college. It was great! Vincent Price was the best.

Doctor Dog’s 3-D House of Stewardesses. A really scary movie, kids.

I miss SCTV.

Yes! What a hoot. I haven’t thought about that program in (ahem) decades, but I watched it whenever my Mom wasn’t looking. Seriously y’all, if this kind of thing makes you nostalgic I suggest you get hold of a copy of Stephen King’s Danse Macabre. It’s a non-fiction look at 50’s-70’s horror in film and print. It’s a ton of fun, funny as hell, and a loving tribute that’s hard to beat. (My favorite line: “Sooner or later you have to take off the mask and go booga-booga!”)

You are, of course, correct. It was Dr. Dog’s 3-D House of Cats. I remembered about 10 seconds after hitting Post.

Might as well check into the home, if I can’t remember important stuff like that for even a few decades.

Nope sorry, it is always Dr. Tounge (John Candy)

I’ll take your word for it. I must have misheard, back then. Always good to learn something, thanks.

In the 50s we had one theatre that showed double feature monster movies on Saturday afternoons. I became closely acquainted with every giant ant, spider, grasshopper, and green scaly thing as well as real monsters like Boris Karloff and Vincent Price. My two best friends and I were good at picking just the right scary moment to poke one or the other and make him jump. Mass quantities of Necco Wafers and Good 'n Plenties to ensure a belly ache. Fun times.

As a kid, I sort of liked Halloween, trick-or-treat and all
that. I usually dressed up in whatever I had. Mostly gypsy
outfits as it was stuff I had on hand. A false face, you
know, those old rubber faces that sweated you like a hog.
I mostly remember Halloween night still being hot weather,
with the outfit making it hotter. Hardely ever wore a coat.

Got lots of candy, apples, things like that. No worries
about some meanie putting some sharp razorblade in your
treats either.

We live in the sticks way back on the river where a misty
fog rolls in a lot. Spooky driveway, grown up with weeds
and tree stumps. Have never had a trick-or-treater in all
the 30 yrs. we’ve lived out here. We always buy candy;
just in case.

I don’t really like Halloween with all the scary stuff
& horror associated with it; but I don’t want to act like
an old grump. :o(

Me neither. But the movie channels always show lots of great old monster and sci-fi movies, and it's a great time to reminisce about being a kid in the early 60s.
