Bill Warren? Help me out, DJS!). We mustn't forget Aurora's classic model kits and those 8mm Castle Films, which unleashed Universal's '50s sci-fiers a few years before they hit TV syndication. Prime-time THRILLER -- featuring Boris Karloff, no less! -- was clearly a part of this Hollywood retro-monster "movement," which finally culminated in self-parody with THE MUNSTERS (1964). But for awhile, a few years at least, we m-boomers were the coolest kids on the block, with the niftiest collections... even if we couldn't afford that "impossible" $34.95 for a magnificent Don Post mask!Gary Geraninoreply@blogger.com
