Fun Stuff

Trivia:
The "Cinemagic" process, used for all scenes on the surface of Mars, was the result of an attempt by producer Norman Maurer to turn live-action footage directly into hand-drawn animation - or to simulate that. This would enable hand-drawn backgrounds to look as real (or as unreal) as the live action footage. It didn't have that effect here, of course. See The Three Stooges in Orbit (1962) for Maurer's second (and failed) attempt at the same process. more

Scared spit-less, 28 July 2006

This movie scared the be jeepers out of me.

Well, I saw the original release, and I was eight years old. But it scared me good. There was all the red. There were the scary actors who had really bad five word lines out of a comic book.

There was always something OUT THERE.

There were all the kids crying and running for the exit doors.

and then the nightmares. Took me at least three days to get over this one.

This movie was made for kids. Why are there so many comments up here about this grade D flick?

And some of you are watching this thing as adults?

Was the above comment useful to you?
