TV - TALES OF FRANKENSTEIN

A pilot for an unproduced anthology show, from 1958. What makes this a notable effort is its director - Curt Siodimak, a science fiction author in his own right, and the writers Catherine L. Moore and Henry Kuttner - both famous as SF short collaborators. Their most recent adaptation was The Last Mimzy, from their Lewis Padgett short story - Mimsy Were The Borogoves.

MOVIE - THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

This is the original, not the soon-to-be-released remake with Keanu Reeves. Enjoy this, realize how timeless it is and understand why the mere concept of a 'remake' is blasphemy. Based on the short story Farewell to the Master by Harry Bates.
