Oh those were the Days.....I couldn't wait for the Creature Double feature to come on. It brought us some of the Classics (and I use the Term Loosely)

Zontar, the Thing From Venus
"X" the Man with X-ray Eyes
Attack of the Mushroom People
All The Toho Monsters- Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidra, Gammera, Rodan.

These were some of the worse movies ever made....and I couldn't wait to see them. I still find them at the Video store occassionally and rent them for my kids to watch....they actually love them. Right now we are working our way therough the Entire 1st season DVD of the original Outer Limits.

Chiller Theatre was the one that would actually show you some of the Higher Production Value Universal Movies like Dracula, Frankenstein, and the Mummy, With some of those AI Nuclear Age Big Bug Mutation Paranoia flicks mixed in like Them, The Deadly Mantis, Tarantula, and the Day the World Ended.

And then there were the "Size Matters" flicks like The Amazing Collosal Man, Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, Dr. Cyclops, and The Incredible Shrinking Man.

Can you tell I was a Big Fan of those Movies. Man I wish they would bring that back....I bet the kids today would still get a kick out of seeing them.

Trivia Questiion: Who was the Actor that Played "The Thing" in the original Movie?
