In my early childhood years, late night TV horror films were produced in black and white. They allowed your brain to fill in the colour of blood. The two that influenced the nightmares of my life, watched prior to the age of six with a cousin, late at night when everyone else was sensibly asleep:
1. The Great Behemoth – a nessie type monster, living in the East River knocks over ferry boats. I grew up outside of NYC and this was a REAL possibility for me.
2. The Crawling Eye – a spiderlike creature, living in a cloud on the side of a mountain, devouring people travelling up said mountain in cable cars. It fostered in me a full fledged case of pediatric cable car phobia. Now, as an adult, I can’t look at random clouds clinging to the side of Grouse Mountain without thinking of the Crawling Eye. My kids even call them Crawling Eye clouds.
In my college years it was Looking for Mr.Goodbar that fueled my fears; horror in flickering full colour. Especially after another student, in a nearby dorm, was the victim of a stabbing death one night.
It’s many years later and I don’t appreciate horror films or any type of psycho-thriller. Give me a musical or quirky comedy any day. A recent favourite? Odd as it sounds it was Death at a Funeral. I was still LOL the next day. Pure political incorrectness.
I can’t in any way link this to knitting, but I can show you some stash enhancement bought at ebay store Simply Yarn. Two skeins of Blue Heron Rayon Metallic, priced lower than at most stores, with reasonable shipping. If you decide to get some, tell Jacquie that Li sent you.
Ah ha – here’s the missing link: It will provide me with plenty of movie watching knitting.
