Man…those “B” horror movies were hilarious! Most were made on shoestring budgets-and the acting was pretty bad. What always fascinated me-they would usually bring in some old-time actors (like Boris Karloff or Peter Lorre) to add some class to an otherwise sucky production! I remember “Voodoo Island”-a woman gets killed by a man-eating plant-and you can see the seams in the plastic “plant”😃

Early 70s…cousins visiting…we range ages 9-12…dad away…mom in her infinite wisdom lets us all stay up until whenever…late night movie was the [original “Village of the Damned”](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054443/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2).:smack:

Thanks, Mom! :eek:
