is watching these 1950's SciFi movies on Saturdays with my Dad. Sometimes, they'd come on late at night, and Daddy would ask "you wanna shut eye?" That was my cue to climb up on the sofa in front of the TV with him, and gently fall asleep with his strong arm around me and Sci Fi echoing in the background.

Amazing collection!!!!!! I'm amazed you found a poster for the Monolith Monsters. Heck, I'm amazed anyone besides me even remembers it! I'm going to have to go hunt it to watch it. It scared me as a young kid. doubt it today, tho! (LOL)

One I didn't see, which also got me going as a kid was "Day of the Triffids"... remember that one?

Lots of unconscious women being toted around -- some by monsters, some by robots, some by macho heros. eppur_se_muova Mar 1 #12
