Growing up I always looked forward to Nightmare theater. It was on after the news--so you had to stay up pretty late. The mostly showed old horror movies like Frankenstein or Dracula movies. There was one about a wax museum, and the creature from the lagoon. It was a good time, and often kept me awake and tell the local station went off the air. Friday the 13th was especially fun, because then you got a double feature.

Channel 4. I watched it every Friday night. Most times I was babysitting and waiting for the people to come home. I usually got to see the whole movie before they came home.

ReplyDeleteMy dad often worked swing shift. We (Mom, Rose, Russell and I would watch it, then go out in the pitch black to move irrigation dams. Too scared in the dark to move.

ReplyDeleteI used to watch this a lot, and sometimes my dad (Dr Paul Stowell) would come downstairs and watch it with me. I remember in particular the swamp creature in the Black Lagoon. I had a lot of nightmares about that creature….a recurring dream with dad and I on an island

ReplyDeleteWe watched this in the basement, when it was over us girls made a mad dash upstairs past the back door. We thought for sure someone would break in right at that moment.
