If We Watch The FIlm Only On Audio This Time, We Will Know That The Film Is Cursed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


                                    The last time "Svengoolie" showed 1957's "The Incredible Shrinking Man," something was wrong with the channel, and we had to watch the picture soundless, like a silent movie.



                                      If we get sound, and no picture, we will know that the film is cursed.



                                     This is not one of my favorite films, but the sequence with the spider, who looks pretty artificial here, is a highlight, and will be fun to see and hear.  Believe me, on film it looks more realistic.



                                       Grant Williams has the title role, and William Schallert, forever known as Patty Duke's father, plays one of his character roles.  There is really not much to expect; ironically, it is "The Amazing Colossal Man" in reverse.  The studios really wanted to torture humans, back in 1957. when both films were released.



                                         So, join us at 8PM, to see if this repeat succeeds.



                                         If it does not, dears, simply watch something else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Victoria, Well, we watched half of it. It was not cursed. At 9PM Channel 13 was showing the 1987 gem "Moonstruck," and we could not resist!
