About “Monster on the Campus” I most remember the blue and green plaid inside lining of the jacket in which I buried my 8-year-old face whenever the monster appeared. Good times!

I remember seeing this same trailer for “Monster on the Campus” when I was about five years old and it scared the living bejeebers outa me. What a hoot to see it again! Thanks, rhs!!

Thanks for the memories. It reminded me of the Midnight Movies at the Lowes Capitol in D.C. in the 40s when they would show Frankenstein or Dracula and had a Frankenstein character walk down the aisles. Great fun and the audience loved it. People waiting to get in wound around the block!

Great illustrative choices of a terrific art form! I remember going to several Filmex showings of trailer compilations way back in the day (1975 or so?) — they always left you wanting to watch the movies! Being a particular fan of 1950′s movies, I’ve got to run down “Monster on the Campus” — need to see it real soon!!

Also, I particularly like the line “the personable Mark Damon” in the “Black Sabbath” trailer! Like something you’d write on a report card! :-)

Wonderful stuff, RHS!
