My most current book project is tentatively called "NOT AFRAID OF THE DARK: MEMORIES OF THE MATINEE MOVIE MONSTERS" which covers the period between 1958 and 1963 when I saw many first-run and re-released monster B-movies at the Shafer Theater. Some of these films includes "The Blob" w/ Steve(n) McQueen, "The Tingler" and "House on Haunted Hill" w/ Vincent Price, "Black Sunday" w/ Barbara Steele, "Invaders From Mars" (the US version), and others by AIP and Roger Corman. I spent many Saturday afternoons at the Shafer being scared to death and having nightmares for weeks, especially with "Black Sunday" which traumatized many of its young viewers in 1961, myself included. Will add updates as I progress with the project.
