Ah yes, I remember it well

I always enjoyed going to the monster and horror flicks as a kid. For about four years we lived a block away from a neighborhood movie theater, the Park, in east Knoxville. This is where I first saw House of Wax , in 3D, no less. I was introduced to the wonderful world of Ray Harryhausen through Earth Vs The Flying Saucers, 20 Million Miles To Earth and, my favorite, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad . On occasion my sister and I would catch the bus downtown and see Rodan, Earth Vs the Spider and even turkeys such as The Viking Women . I did have some standards and refused to watch the bargain basement losers like King Kong Vs Godzilla for example . And then we discovered Hammer Films and the great team of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. A new world in glorious color opened up. Even today I enjoy watching these old movies when I get the chance. I would like the opportunity to see some of Bert I. Gordon's movies again. They were low budget, but fun. I watched The Viking Women
