It was during that time too that I was subjected to Superargo and the Faceless Giants (I called it Superago and the Faceless Giants at the time). I remember being entertained by it though. Hey was a kid! I caught it recently online and as an adult can see why your mother is so traumatized by the event.<BR/>Remember the movie The Green Slime? My first movie ever at a drive in. I was scared shitless! Again I must remind you I was probably seven at the time. I caught it a few years back on TV and I sat there gape mouthed at how utterly horrible that movie is! The one movie I remember being traumatized by how bad it was is the movie "Song of Norway". I actually asked my mom to let me take my younger brother and sister and a few friends to see it. It was so bad a few of them left in the middle of it which was an unheard occurance for unsophisticated kids of the sixties.<BR/>My first masturbation movie was Kentucky Fried Movie btw. Those lovely cans of Uschi in the trailer within the movie; "Catholic Girls in Trouble" gave me fodder for probably a year!<BR/>Thanks for stirring up those memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-80314791603051894962007-01-04T12:12:00.000-05:002007-01-04T12:12:00.000-05:00Ours remains Krakatoa, East of Java.

A volcano movie originally released in Sensurround (or something like it), this film scared the living fuck out of me when my parents took my then-four-year-old self to the theatre for one of my first films. When the volcano blew, Mom says, I screamed, dived under the chairs, and hid my face for most of the remaining film. I also recal a similar reaction when Maleficent showed up in <i>Sleeping Beauty</i> around the same age. Now I'm into Goth girls and fire-spinning. Go figure!<br /><br />As for bad cinema experiences, Dad and I still groan over the time we saw <i>H.G. Wells' Shape of Things to Come</i>, starring Jack Palance getting a rubber beam bounced off his head. Dad actually paid English film-ticket prices for this turdstool, which we saw when he took me to the UK in 1978 or so. And to think - we could have seen <i>Eraserhead</i> (playing next door) instead...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415178.post-68206808888773231632007-01-03T09:21:00.000-05:002007-01-03T09:21:00.000-05:00When I was about 8 yrs old, my grandparents took m...When I was about 8 yrs old, my grandparents took my sister and I to "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076683/">The Sentinel</a>" which was about the gateway to Hell and Brooklyn (like there's a difference). There was gore, nudity, sex, violence and, in an early role, a furiously masturbating Beverly DeAngelo (that, alone, was worth the price of admission) in a scene that flew right over my 8yr old head. I thought she was in horrible pain. My Grandparents were horrified, but they didn't take us out. I suspect it was a nice change for them from all the awful kiddie fare they usually took us to (Rumplestiltskin, Pippi, etc..). As soon as we got home, my sister yelled "Mommie, we saw boobies!!!". I still love that flick. And it still holds up. Everyone should check it out...John Blighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06543592173944572738noreply@blogger.com
