Here's the link: http://craigjclark.livejournal.com/<br /><br />And actually that viewing of <i>Werewolf Shadow</i> was last month, so it doesn't count for September's mission. I've got a few other Naschy titles on tap, though, including another Waldemar Daninsky epic.Craig J.

Link again please?<br /><br />First time views of DEMON SEED, TIME MACHINE, WEREWOLF SHADOW (I bet I know what that was for, oh fellow Kryptic Army member), and SAVAGE WEEKEND! Outstanding. I remember the Morlocks freaking me the eff out when I was a kid. DEMON SEED, by contrast, was very strange on the young Dr. AC's eyes - don't think I even knew what rape was at that point, but I knew that computer probably shouldn't be doing what it was doing. Now when I see that flick, I think, "How did they even get away with that?" They could never make that movie today...Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803045395906423494.post-3879339530001845122010-09-14T06:43:53.334-07:002010-09-14T06:43:53.334-07:00Oh my dear friend Coye

And considering that I didn't get to watch many movies prior to 1987, thanks to the well-intended hand of Mother AC, I'd say that most of the time the guesstimate is pretty accurate. <br /><br />Also, I tend to watch new movies more than rewatching, and I have never had cable where I was flipping on the channel and watching the same movie over and over. When I watch a film, it tends to be a very conscious act, so it's easier to keep track.Dr. AC https://www.blogger.com/profile/00222795645885007090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803045395906423494.post-13270385365111652252010-09-13T16:11:40.141-07:002010-09-13T16:11:40.141-07:00Some interesting selections there.

After seeing it in Chicago, I went back and revised my old review.
