Dr. X will build a creature

[sovay]

And because I have not watched nearly enough movies this year, in a little over half an hour I am meeting rushthatspeaks and derspatchel at the Somerville Theatre for a sci-fi/horror noon-to-midnight marathon. Starts with silent film and progresses decade by decade until we run out of Saturday sometime in the '90's. I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to seeing The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920) on a big screen. Or The Invisible Man (1933). Or The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984). I've never seen Tremors (1990), or even heard of Dr. Cyclops (1940). And there's always time for Roddy McDowall, Yul Brynner, and Robby the Robot. (And one film to run out on to find dinner. This is important.)

I am looking forward.

If you think that Remors is a hoot, there are the sequel films and the TV show you should watch.

Actually good sequel films? (I am always skeptical of these things.) I thought Tremors was brilliant; speak to me!

they actually are good sequel films, and the TV series was hysterical. If you think Giant Wyrms are fun, then the next stages of their evolution will amuse you. Puny Humans with opposible thumbs can be quite creative.
