OMG, I saw this on TV! I was ten and would check out every book at my library related to movie monster
Those books! When I was a kid, my dad was doing night classes to get his bachelor's that were held in a local high school. I'd hang out on the library and read those books obsessively while he was in class.

I remember watching this when it originally came on. Haven't seen it or heard it mentioned since. Awesome!

When I was a kid, I used to like old monster movies without actually seeing them. I would read about them in A Pictorial History of Horror Movies and Famous Monsters of Filmland, but there was no home video in those day, no cable, and the few broadcast stations we could pick up didn't exactly run Boris Karloff marathons.
