Attack of the Giant Leeches

Oh yeah - from the bad side of the bayou comes Attack of the Giant Leeches. Linda Ronstsadt don't sing about this part of the bayou, no sir. Some good old boys poaching game, a honey of a cheating wife, the mad husband toting a shotgun - you betcha, this is 60 minutes of pure shock theater circa 1967. Make sure you check out Hot Rod Girl, a chick exploitation romp with fast cars and hot girls made by the same director with Leo Gordon getting writing credits.

Vincent Price - Shock Theater

Back in the days of my youth, circa 1966-1976 - there were only 4 TV stations in the Milwaukee area. The big big networks of course, and the lone UHF station, in this case channel 18. (why is this that most of the early UHF stations were all channel 18 - does anybody know that answer?) And on any Saturday afternoon - the broadcast big broadcast boys were all pumping college sports games, which for me was the same as nothing is on. Ahhhh but the UHF station always came to the rescue for sci-fi geeks like me. There was the Twilight Zone, usually followed by the Outer Limits (messing with the vertical and horizontal of the tv). And then... yes, Shock Theater with the killer scary bumper of a hairy tarantula crawling across an old book. We created a little Shock Theater section of some of our favorite offerings from the classic Saturday afternoon tv show. If the Super Bowl is over after one quarter - by all means check out Shock Theater or the Horror Movie section. There's even a Vincent Price movie called Shock - which offers some early jolting psycho therapy.

Jack Frost Groovy Cartoon

Here Comes February and with it a nice blast of cold air. Right now it is darn cold for these parts. And so - we recommend Jack Frost - a pretty cool cartoon. Our favorite in the seasonal cartoon genre remains - To Spring. The one with the Elves bringing in the spring colors through transparent pipes. Next up - automatic transmissions - when this was new technology. ooooh.
