Bijou Bob, wonderful post!! I completely agree with you. One of the greatest moments of my monster kid days was when we got the new TV Guide and I saw that one of the Universal films was showing on Scream-In or Shock Theater! It literally made my week, knowing that on Saturday night I'd be viewing a classic monster flick.

We were very fortunate in the Dayton Ohio area that we could pull in Cincinnati shows like the Cool Ghoul's or even Bob Shreive's, who was a late night movie host who would every once in a while show a classic horror film. Your chances were pretty good that you'd catch one sooner or later.
