Oh-oh! I got tagged by another meme - the Happy HalloMeme! - by Rick. The idea is to highlight a scary marine or SF film!
I was very young, probably around 7 or 8, when TV Belgrade decided to air a weekly series of old Jack Arnold movies, including It Came from Outer Space, Tarantula, and The Incredible Shrinking Man. But the one that really scared me (I could not sleep that night and had scary moments for quite a while afterwards) was the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Matt and Mrs.Whatsit tagged me with the 7-meme and 8-meme and I have been struggling with the ideas as to how to respond. I am usually a sucker for memes. I always do them. But there is nothing - weird or not - about myself that I have not already mentioned on this blog at one point or another (…
Long time ago, I mentioned here something about the Belgrade Zoo. The power of Google brought a Belgrader, Sonja, to my blog, who alerted me to the dire conditions in which the Zoo is right now and the existence of her website (made by her and her students) called Zoo SOS whose goal is to force…

When Milkriverblog asked for obscure-but-good movies the other day, I was busy and distracted, so I did not give it enough thought. If you ask nicely, he will send you MSWord file…
Great choice. You've got the "synchronized swimming" scene at 28:20, where the Creature swims just under the beautiful girl, as shot from underwater.
".....Shrinking Man" was my favourite.
How did you manage to find and place a link to the whole film in a blog?? I've never come across this ever before !!
Brilliant.
Thanks for the tag, Bora, especially since I'll be doing this every Saturday anyhow. I think today I'm going to cover Frogs or Grizzly (I still haven't decided), but for Halloween I'll actually do a review of something good, something that involves a certain alien at a polar research station that can take the form of anything it comes in contact with...
Tarnation! I totally missed this one until just now. Crapola. Thanks for tagging me anyway, C. Sorry I crapped out, lol!
It's OK. As long as GOP is in charge, every day is Halloween. You can post whenever you want between now and the inauguaration of a Democrat.
