i saw the first 3 D movie bwana devil at the warner theatre in wash. d.c. the movie was a stinker but the effect was thrilling. far the best 3 D movie was house of was with price. it also had surround sound, in the big fire scene the fire crackled all around you and in the fight the thrown chair crashes in back of you. having gone to movies for over 60 years i rate that showing as the most thrilling time i have ever had at the movies. BRING BACK 3D !!!

Hi, Medusa – I still have red/blue 3-D glasses lying around too. Takes me back to the first time I went to a 3-D double-feature (for IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE and CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON). The only thing was; my and my friends got dropped off by my mom at the theater, we were late, and we didn’t know it was in 3-D (or what that even meant). So we ran through the darkened theater to sit in the front row, only to be perplexed by the rainbow-tinged image, which we thought was out-of-focus or something. We sat there, annoyed, for about twenty minutes before staring back and seeing a crowd of people wearing the same red/blue glasses: and that freaked us out more than any space alien. Yes, we eventually figured out that we were supposed to wear the glasses too, and got them from the front counter. Why they let three seven-year-old kids run in without them is beyond me.

I love everything 3-D, and reached for my trusty red/blue glasses to check out one of my favorite monsters at the end of your post!

When I worked in local TV, we did the Creature and several other films (and Stooge shorts) in 3D; that was the time you could get local businesses to offer the glasses for you. Later in cable we had a 3D Sports Illustrated Swimsuit special, where the mag had the glasses inserted, but it wasn’t nearly as much fun as that fella from the Black Lagoon.

All this talk about 3D is exciting, and I had also noticed different articles about it recently. Hope all this excitement really leads to something wonderful for the audience!
