And you did your own stunts! Nice work ... you're freaking me out with that mallet though.

You're fortunate to have such an old film of yourselves.

I also was into FM and had most of the copies starting from 1960 - 1964 or so. Too bad I had to rebuy them on ebay when I was 50. :0

Thanks! Yes, I entered a FM movie contest they had. sent off my film...never saw or heard anything of it again. Wish I still had a copy of that film.

I want to show this on my program Nightmare Alley. As well as include it in the film programming for a horror convention I am helping to organize here in Seattle, WA.

Famous Monsters ran a film contest back in 1965 or 66. I entered it but never heard anything, so I guess I lost out. Thanks!

Hey Kerry, it's Chris. I love this video! I have always been into the classic monster movies

The 50 feet Insects was nothing but a giant aligator.

It is like THE BEAST FROM 20'00 FATHOMS.

There is a difference between reptiles and insecets you know.

[KKD1247]

Thanks! 48 years after making that film, I finally learned the difference between reptiles and "insecets".

[TheOwl]

That was HILARIOUS!!! Amazing the fun you could have with a Kodak movie camera back in those days.

Reminds me of some of the stuff I made in the 70's. Also a fan of the old monster movies and magazines.

[deathlk]

It was so weird I liked it and I liked how it was filmed.

[ixnayonthe]

It's such a view of your history. Your life. Great little video. A great memento from almost 50 years ago.

Thanks for posting it.

I love Monster movies too.

[KKD1247]

Thanks! I too am amazed at how much of my life I've taped or filmed.

[JackSzwergold]
