    Blast from the past!

    Omg, what a blast from the past. Shock Theater was a staple growing up in Clearwater,Fla, 1964. I was 7, my brother 12, we'd build a tent with pillows & blankets over chairs & huddle up waiting for midnight on Fridays. Host was pretty funny. Those old black & white horror films were pretty spooky! Was going down memory lane & remembered other 1964 fun. Rat Finks! You can actually still buy them in original package. Leaky Boat Louie models,which my brother would hang & set on fire,lol. Thank you guys for the Shock Theater memories. Well, I'm still 64 characters short for this review. Found my Barbie on e-Bay, too!
