Remember Midnight the cat anyone?
I've never seen or even heard of Midnight the cat, but whoever did this on LSD. That is one bizarre scene!
“No amount of reason, evidence, logic or rational argument will ever convince the true believer otherwise.”
That is a clip from "Andy's Gang" children's hour (1955 to 1960) hosted by Andy Devine. It was on Saturday mornings and nobody (my age) missed it (if you had a TV set).
The only thing I remember Andy Devine being in was an episode of The Twlight Zone in which he was such a liar no one believed him when he told him aliens had landed and he had been on their ship.
“No amount of reason, evidence, logic or rational argument will ever convince the true believer otherwise.”
Yep, saw it. He was a weaver of tall tales who owned a small general store in the back woods. Pretty good episode.
ODIN saved them!
WWGPD? - (What Would General Pinochet Do?)
My recollection is that Andy Devine's stint was a sort of revival of a previous kiddie show, The Buster Brown Show, which was sponsored by Buster Brown shoes (at the time, a very popular brand of kids' shoes). Apart from the ridiculous skits, the show had a brief - maybe 20 minute "drama" - of an ensemble company that variously did stories about a "Sabu"-type boy in India, a Hiawatha-type American Indian boy, and some other character that I cannot remember. The voice of Midnight the Cat was June Foray, who later did the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel in Rocky & Bullwinkle. Devine went on to play Deputy Jingles Jones in the Wild Bill Hickok show. He died in 1977.
My nightmare scene from a movie was the bit where Dr. Cyclops traps the male and female protagonists in his miniaturization chamber and zaps 'em. When I was about seven I had nightmares about Dr. Cyclops. And there was a time when I wouldn't go to sleep without checking the closet in my bedroom to make sure that son of a bitch wasn't hiding in there. I see psyops everywhere.
Actually the scariest horror scenes in movies come from those that are not designed to be horror movies. This is because you dont expect it coming in movies not intended as horror fests. Examples of this are the wicked queen to hag conversion from Disney's cartoon version of Snow White and the 7 Dwarves and Lampwick's boy to donkey conversion from Disney's version of Pinocchio. Both of these were very frightening scenes in movies otherwise not inteneded to be horror.
