At least he got the Space Hillbillies out of his system in season one. Oh yeah, the Space Vikings! The first time I saw that, I said with outrage: "Hey, they stole that from Bugs Bunny!" (It took me a while to discover Der Ring des Nibelungen, obviously...) But don't forget the Space Bikers. They combined Space Hippies with Space Miners in that episode-- I think Dr Smith's hair turned green and grew long and gave him super-strength or something...

I still have nightmares about Angus the swamp monster stalking Will through the castle corridors. Also, the department store revolving door with flashing lights that appears and disappears in the rock wall (as a doorway from the alien planet into the old Scottish times) was great. I really like Hamish and all his "ghosty" tricks he plays on Will and Smith. Oh well, one man's "just terrible" summation is another man's favorite episode. Uncle Angus with his wailing & thrashing about in that episode just about scared the daylights out of me! lol..It's one of my earliest memories of being afraid of something on TV as a child. I can still remember Will running and hiding in that castle's dungeons as Angus came out of the loch and ventured inside..creepy. Now I look back at it and laugh, especially when 'ol Angus would turn up periodically on VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA in various episodes.. Last Edited By: Alias the Scarecrow Apr 14 09 6:08 AM.

God, that scared me as a kid, especially the weird, echo chamber reverberated wail of old Angus. It was like "Ahhh - Ahhhhhhhh - YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

Those are all great ones. In Fact, now that I think about it, there are only a small few (which I mentioned earlier) that don't hold up for me (Space Beauty, Princess Of Space, The Questing Beast, A Trip To Hades).

Scat - Shoe!" mimicing antics freaked me out as a kid (the elves were portrayed by two little people actors). Crazy stuff!

Wasnt the actress who played Brunhilde in the Frost Giants episode(Sheila Matthews) also married to Irwin Allen at the time?

Yes sir, Alias. Brunhilde was indeed portrayed by Irwin Allen's wife, Shelia Matthews. Thanks for that clip! I had no idea that scream had a name. I guess "The Havisham Scream" is sort of like the famous "Wilhelm Scream" in sound effects lore? Named after the guy who created it? I'll have to Google that!

Apr 14 09 9:53 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	OK! The HAVISHAM SCREAM is a stock sound effect of a woman screaming. Here it is in the film Great Expectations. I immediately recognized it as the scream heard on the classic Disney record, "Chilling, Thrilling Sounds of the Haunted House". Apparently they took the same sound for Lost In Space, slowed it down, added that echo chamber reverb, and that was Uncle Angus! Mystery solved! Thanks Alias!

Apr 14 09 11:11 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Lost in Space is pure nostalgia for me. It was my favorite show as a kid and I watched it religiously in syndication as I grew up. The few serious episodes in season one and season three still hold up fairly well today. The over-the-top silly epsiodes were ridiculous then and still are today. But, all epsiodes are still ultimately watchable if you put away your critical eye and remember how there was nothing like this on TV back then. Star Trek was too cerebral and Batman wasn't taking place in outer space (that's up for debate). A perfect show for imaginative ten year old boys who wanted drama, space men,aliens, monsters and the like. If you weren't completely rapt by There Were Giants in the Earth, The Keeper, Hunter's Moon, Anti-Matter Man or Condemned of Space, you were smiling and laughing along with the absurdity of The Questing Beast, The Great Vegeatble Rebellion or Collision of Planets. Good or bad, the show was always fun to watch and still is....for a variety of reasons. The one constant throughout the entire series run was the music. John Williams themes as well as all the related background and cue music is as much a part of the show as the effects, stories or actors. If you hear it as an adult, you instantly know from where it originated.

Apr 14 09 1:58 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My girlfriend makes similar comments; "NOW what are you playing? What IS this?!" Did you get the Lost In Space 40th Anniversary Edition 2-disc set? It's basically a compilation of all three seasons plus a few previously unreleased pieces that are only on this set. Great full color booklet with photos and extensive liner notes included as well.

Apr 14 09 2:03 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Big ol' LiS fan here. I have all the DVD sets - just wish a little more effort had gone into making the menus creative like the later VOYAGE or TIME TUNNELs. Anybody notice some LiS scenes that must have been influenced by "Bride of Frankenstein?" In "Island in the Sky" Dr. Smith threatens Maureen & Don by summoning the Robot - it's very similar to Dr. Praetorius' calling the Monster to intimidate Henry. Also, in "The Dream Monster" there are the two little gold androids that speak the same gibberish that the little experiments do in Praetorius' laboratory. In college I'd taken a Psychology class and had to write a paper about the personality type of any fictional character. I picked the "Presentation of Self," and used Dr. Smith as my example. I asserted that the bumbling Dr. Smith was completely an act in order for him to shirk any semblance of responsibility. Granted, many episodes don't support this claim, but I got an 'A' on the paper, and the professor wasked if he could use my paper as an example for future classes. "I live the unknown, I love the unknown... I AM the unknown."

(I think the season 3 "countdown" music is one of the greatest opening themes for any show). Yes, "Johnny" Williams! Agreed, the season 3 intro music has always been my favorite. Totally rousing and exciting, letting us know that we're in for some action and adventure. I feel the same way about the original Johnny Quest theme.
