You have a couple years on me, I suppose, but remember that one. I used to watch all of the old black and white horror and Science Fiction movies that came out when I was a kid, we didn’t have color yet.
Am at the point now when people ask on the phone for my birth date I start out with the first 2 parts then for the year I say ‘Cuban Missile Crisis’ just to see how many people actually get it.😂 There has only been one person so far since I started to do that that actually has got it, and it was in the same birth month as well. Person (as I recall) noticed that as well.
Only thing I think that really used to scare me for some reason was the Mummy movies, those really got to me for some reason, have no idea why. And anything with Spiders, with the exception of ‘Eight Legged Freaks’, that was a great movie, just funny. That never really bothered me, but always did have a thing about Spiders…
I did get tore up by red ants once, in Baton Rouge, didn’t pay attention to where I was sitting, and sat on a small ant hill in the grass, was some really small ones, but learned fast that they didn’t like that…😖
I grew up in Morris Plains, New Jersey, and we never had a Drive in close to us, but had some cousin’s in New Hampshire we used to visit from time to time, and they had one really close, and I would go with one that was about my age at the time, and we would sneak through a hole in the back fence and watch. There was always something good going.
I remember watching a lot of those movies on Saturday afternoons on Creature Features, or Chiller theater, and then there was in later years Up All Night I think it was with Elvira. those were good days. Had good acting as well. People knew how to really bring it without all of the special effects, and really hit you close to home.
🤣OMG! I had no idea that such a thing even existed! Especially in the Bible belt! I bet a lot of people were really frustrated with that. I would have never suspected that such a thing even existed….
