Remember when you were eight and staying up late on Saturday nights?
–––
Portland, Oregon. The mid ’70s .
If you could manage to keep your eyes open until 11:30 p.m., you would have the pants scared off you watching Sinister Cinema. Victor Ives was the host and he would show all kinds of old horror films. Sure, most of them were kind of hokey by todays standards, but when you are 8 years old (and it’s the mid ’70s) they scared you good! Once a year they would bust out the Universal Classics; Frankenstein, The Wolfman, Dracula, and the Mummy.
Crazy how you were suppose to be afraid of the monster, but I always felt so sorry for Frankenstein’s creation, poor Boris Karloff.
