I went to see "The Blob" at the Crest Theater in South Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas, in, what was it, 1960? 1962? I'm pretty sure it cost a quarter. The film started out black and white, and all of a sudden it cut to color about two-thirds of the way through the film!

For Vincent Price in "The House on Haunted Hill," there was scene where he lowered some hapless victim's body into a big vat of boiling sulfuric acid, with a metal chain through--shudder--his head, I guess. And then brought it back up as a steaming skeleton. At that point the side little portal on one side of the screen opened up. They had a plastic life-size skeleton on a pulley that rolled through the theater on an invisible metal wire, brushing the tops of all of those teenage girls with really Big Hair! Oh, the screaming! The horror of it all! Those were simpler times, I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>But I digress. I do that a lot these days. Anyway, again, great post, Charmy, and keep your chin up.
