Yep… scary 70’s fads… there were a lot of 'em, eh?
** twickster:** If no one else remembers earth shoes, it’s because the rest of us have blocked the painful memory.
The wording on the carnival question was deliberately ambiguous, to make sure there were enough possibilities, incidentally. I wasn’t sure it wouldn’t be the conch question otherwise. Heh.
I am really impressed that so many of us have mentioned different SF stories. All utterly classics. I think it would be great to get together a low-budget, high-inspiration acting troupe and dramatize these stories in installments, so the SciFi channel wouldn’t have to show stuff like “Slither.”
