Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things. It's by the guy who would later create Porkys.

Even more amazingly, it's the same guy who went on to make "A Christmas Story" (Bob Clark).

An early memory of a bad, creepy movie was "The Abominable Dr. Phibes" with Vincent Price. I couldn't sleep face-up ever again after that movie since I thought someone would drill a hole in my ceiling, paralyze me with drugs, drench me with cellulose goo and cover me with a thousand carnivorous insects that would eat me alive!

I also liked a movie called "Arnold" about a guy who dies and leaves a bunch of booby-traps that kill all the slimey people who are out to get his inheritance by hooking up with his widow. I'm sure it would suck mightily now.

And, of course, who doesn't like the dopiest sci-fi/horror flick of all time, "Dark Star". Funny thing is, except for a few details and a significantly smaller budget, Dark Star is exactly the same as the first "Alien" movie. It's is not so outrageous since Dan O'bannon wrote both of them.

Aw yeah - alien beachball!
