All those people wandering into the backyard sandpit and nobody yelled "Watch out for snakes!"

Looking forward to this! It was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid.

If Timmy's family were dysfunctional, and Martian, and Lassie had already gone to "live at a farm upstate," this might be the result! Too 50s for comfort!

William Cameron Menzies was the director of Things to Come (1936), The Thief of Bagdad (1940, with Conrad Veidt and Abu, beautiful movie and no Douglas Fairbanks), and Duel in the Sun (1946). This movie was definitely a step down.

I need "Keep Off the Grass" in my life immediately. Hop to it, guys.

This one was fun! I had only ever seen the Tobe Hooper remake!

Need new Riff! Something to pair with "Fishin'..."!
