Well done from a lifelong Outer Limits fan ! It was like watching an episode that I somehow had missed. I really like the way the incidental music was worked in. Great job !
Boy, the nights were so bright back then, you had to wear sunglasses! Thanks Fred, I loved The Outer Limits. It really brings back great childhood memories of sleep overs, watching The Outer Limits with friends and loving to be scared to death. What a wonderful carefree time of life! I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
What a treat! I really enjoyed this, including the commercials! You took me back to a better, happier time (for me, anyway). Thank you, FredFlix, you did a wonderful job!
The episode that scared the life out of me as a kid was. "It crawled out of the woodwork" With that Stop motion Animated Cloud of energy. Ed Asner was in it. My older sisters would scare me with balls of steel wool under my bed after we had watched the episode..
Scared me too. I'd say It Crawled Out of the Woodwork was one of the most scary episodes for me. But The Zanti Misfits was the one that shattered this little 5 year old boy. I had to sleep with the covers over my head for weeks after that one.
That was a show that would come with a warning today. For many of those episodes, they wouldn't get a G rating at a theater, and little kids really shouldn't watch them. And right before bed time was a VERY bad time to be watching them. But, like lawn darts, no helmets for bikes, and monkey bars built over asphalt, kids were not so worried about in the 60's. It was "Here you go, young man. A chemistry set with volatile compounds that you can use to blow yourself up."
Well done! This certainly would have made a passable episode of Outer Limits, though it wouldn't have made my personal top 10. I was waiting throughout to see how you were going to handle the ending Control Voice moral-of-the-story, Fred, and you really knocked it out of the ballpark by finding one that was just generic enough to fit. You never disappoint.
My absolute favorite show is from, "One Step Beyond." titled : "The Man With The Power" oh God... just thinking about that episode still makes me cry, and cry, and I can't stop crying...
Outer Limits was the best....even a made up one! Heck....even the music is scary.. Great job putting this one together Fred... makes me miss MONSTER VISION on TNT!
This was absolutely brilliant Fred ! I really enjoyed the combination of the Outer Limits with a B Sci Fi film . I encourage you to do more Outer Limits renditions with period adverts.
Black and white T.V. me a boy 4 to 5 year's old mid 1960's this movie was etched deeply in my memory I only remember short bits he had to hide from the Sun running from the beach to the house cellar to hide I always thought it might have been a Outer Limits episode I searched for this when The DVD Outer Limits came out , now I have found it after all theses years The Irony of it all THANKS SO MUCH , Paul Seattle.
I remember as a kid I liked watching Outer Limits and all my friends at school said why do you watch that junk when there are such good shows as Name oh The Game with Gene Berry and Mission Impossible. I was the only kid who liked those "weird" sci fi shows. Teachers said I had low intelligence because I liked junk science fiction writers like Robert Heinlein. I wanted to do a book report on Stranger in a Strange Land and the teacher said not that trash in my classroom. I asked the teacher how she knew it was trash if she never even read it and she said Heinlein was one of those nutty science fiction writers. It was tough to like writers like Ray Bradbury in the 60's because you got the worst kind of prejudice.
I think there were worse kinds of prejudice in the 60s 😅 but i feel you. I didnt know it was so looked down upon. I was born in the 90s. The most related thing i can imagine is my teachers said reading books about alien abductions and ghost stories doesnt count as "reading". And that i need to write my paper about a "real book". Their problem wasnt that it was fiction, fiction is fine. I guess they just thought the subject matter was trashy.
Ealswythe Angelic Realms: It sounds like you had some seriously ignorant classmates and teachers back in the day. They may have conceivably needed some intensive rehab sessions.
The episode when Robert Culp was turned into a space alien. The Drs. gave him shots. Right after that episode we had to get our shots for whatever it was. We were scared. Sounds stupid now but you had to be there.
OUTSTANDING !!!! FANTASTIC !!!! ''THE OUTER LIMITS" WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE TV SERIES AS A CHILD AND "THE HIDEOUS SUN DEMON" WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES . PUTTING THEM TOGETHER IS AWESOME !!!! THIS IS SPICED UP FURTHER WITH THE THEME SONG OF ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE TV WESTERNS CALLED "THE TEXAN" STARRING RORY CALHOUN. (AFTER THE SUN DEMON KILLS THE GANGSTER). THANK YOU FredFlix FOR THIS SUPER PRODUCTION !!!! THANK YOU YOU/TUBE !!!!
If the girls father was a gauger in that oil patch then yes he would live there smack in the middle of the pumping units. He'd probably work 7 days a week as many do today rarely taking a day off. No fun but common especially if a house was available inside the field for free.
Man I rememberwhen I went my first self service station it was either 69 or 70 anyway I didn’t have a clue sat in the car for twenty minutes until someone finally explained it to me.
Congratulations on doing a remarkable job editing these two things together. this movie the hideous son demon worked so well with the outer limits music. Thank you for the lovely gift you gave us
As a child watching the Outer Limits, I always appreciated the commercials with the pretty people and happy music...we now return to The Hideous Sun Demon.
Thank you for putting up," The Outer Limits" in youtube this is great!!! I watched some episodes when I was a young boy. To me it´s one of the most frightening series. I love the rubber monsters of The Outer Limits.
The outer limits was one of my favorite tv series ,i remember having some problems to sleep sometime after viewing some of thoses episodes . Now on the today tv , i simply sleep front of a screen because nothing beat the best time of my life as the years 50,60 and 70's . Cool cars,cool musics , cool tv series , cool vintage films .
Nice "time warp" of an Outer Limits episode which did not exist, complete with period commercials. You could have called it, "A Lost Episode of the Outer Limits" and many people would have believed it. Well done!
I saw this movie as a kid back in the '70s at the drive-in back then they would show old movies at the drive-in that's why I first saw world of the Worlds When Worlds Collide as well as some old Hammer movies brings back good memories
Thanks for posting - great historical stuff. The Sun is the source of life on Earth. But, as you say, one day it will just devour us. And then probably belch. So much for us. Greetings from Downunder. .
Brilliant ! the movie makes a perfect episode of Outer Limits ! I heard the main actor wrote and financed the whole movie. It's a classic that still brings chills today.
This is a 1958 scifi horror movie brilliantly believably and seamlessly reformatted as a late 60's Outer Limits episode, done so well as to be unnoticed by most of those who here left comments. Kudos to you 😎
The one that freaked me was when they were on another planet and they had to contend with radiation showers and the one dude was unable to get inside in time.And his eyes kept getting bigger and bigger. Basically he became a Monster.
The Outer Limits - it was WONDERFUL - as a youngster it gave me some of my most amazing nightmares! Even the opening credit sequence sent chills down my spine... we are controlling all you see and hear...!
I was 10 years old in 1960. After watching that Salem commercial it's no wonder that I started smoking cigarettes when I was 11. It was presented as the thing to do to me as I was growing up and it was over and over on television. I've fought against that addiction my whole life and have had limited success. But I will add that the Hideous Sun Demon was a great addition as an Outer Limits episode. Very cleverly done with the music and intro especially. Bravo.
Thanks Fredflix...I grew up with this in the late 60s early 70s. The intro scared the shit out of me! Brings back fond memories :) Back on my sleeping bag in the middle of the living room with my brother and small cup of Coke Mom let us have. Now I've got a 7-11 Big Gulp 48oz :)
The opening theme and the music of the Outerlimits is just brilliant. This looks like a realy old cheesy revenge of the B movies. The end of this short movie was the scariest part of the movie for me if i was that actor you wouldn't catch me climbing that power station fear of heights you see. I'm scared of heights and black spiders and wasps.Welcome to the planet of Zanti.
As a kid I remember Patricia Manning as Lady Beatrice Mervyn in the Boris Karloff TV series "Thriller." The episode was The Closed Cabinet. She was a cursed ghost, having killed her abusive husband in the 1600s in the same English castle where the story takes place. It was the mother in law that put the curse on her-----those dang mothers in law! All the descendants of Lady Beatrice were to die at a young adult age unless the curse was broken (within the cabinet). A young Jerry Goldsmith wrote the score.
This is Awesome!! How far back this goes!! I'm an OUTTIE like a mug!! Never saw this one. NeAT OOH!! Too KOOL I thank U for this.I loooove the theme music it always says by the sound "You're gonna see something scary and exciting!! Nessa was here 2020!! March Take care
The Hideous Sun Demon was a b-movie but to this day I always thought star, writer and director Robert Clarke did an admirable job. The end is somewhat intense and sad. It may have been based on a reversal of the Wolf Man (who was affected by the full moon) but this 1958 film fits beautifully in the FredFlix adaptation to The Outer Limits. Good job. This was done fairly well. The narration at the end from the original series fit the Sun Demon too. Oh yeah, I was 7 when I first saw this film at a Saturday afternoon double-feature matinee with The Blob, or Caltiki the Immortal Monster -- I don't remember. I had to go home and look the word "hideous" up. That was the first time I learned a word that I had no idea about. When Kramer in Seinfeld said the word in one episode I laughed for ten minutes. B-movies tried so hard to stay within the bounds of reality in their fiction. One of the spookiest strangest Outer Limits episodes was with George MacReady -- "Production and Decay of Strange Particles".
Fantastic work Fred! Please! Don’t stop with the “Hideous Sun Demon” there’s so many titles which would be perfect for this format. Your use of original “Outer Limits” music cues (especially after the aspirin TV spot) we’re dead on. Thank you so much!
I am a Ph.D. scientist-engineer today because of The Outer Limits. I was 10 years old when I began watching it. I wanted to be that scientist in The Outer Limits that did frontier pioneering work. And so I did! It was Karma for me, and I consider myself an expert in the episodes of The Outer Limits. After all, it is the major guiding dogma that I have for my life as a scientist! This episode was never broadcast because it lacks a certain dramatic suspense, humanistic anthology, and acting that other episodes have with more emphasis. It was essentially a 'Frankenstein' remake. At least the control voice ended the episode with "courage, Inspiration, and Integrity".....I add compassion to that mix, with a lot of other aspects of human attributes, virtues or not. I am betting, given the limited budget that they had, and the producers of creative genius, they decided to scrap this episode and considered it a last resort. Just a guess, but thanks for your very good detective work and contribution! Thank you to the producers of The Outer Limits for making what I am today!
Ron, I'm happy Outer Limits gave you a career and I know you're a scientist and all, but you missed the obvious: This was never intended as an Outer Limits episode: I took an old movie (The Hideous Sun Demon) and made a fake OL episode. It's very clear from the opening episode titles.
@@FredFlix Compared to a genuine Outer Limits episode, it was rather a forced watch. The acting just wasn't there for me. But it was fun pretending that it could have been an Outer Limits episode! Your icon is of The Galaxy Being....the first Outer Limits episode ever! Happy Holidays!
Remember The Mysterians? Japanese flying saucers everywhere. I was so young and fascinated! Though I believe ET is here, I have never gotten to observe a craft, so I always ask complete strangers: "Have you ever seen a flying saucer?" The answer is commonly yes.
My favorites from The Outer Limits were 1-The Zanti Misfits" 2-The Man Who Was Never Born"3- I forgot what its called but the house in it was a alien brain or something & people in it never aged unless they left the gateway. 4-Fun & Games
All good episodes, Jigsaw. But I'd have to pick "Demon with a Glass Hand" as my all-time favorite episode, though it certainly wasn't the scariest. I still think it was a terrible loss to humanity that _Babylon 5_ never did the crossover episode where Trent shows up on the station.
@@brettmiddleton7949 I think that the best ever episode was "Feasibility Study". A true study in morality and the terrible choices one sometimes has to make to do the right thing.
JIGSAW 4 EVER c geoffrey The episode which you're referring to is called "The Guests". It features Luana Anders and Gloria Graham. The alien/monster brain was the same costume prop which was used in " The Mice".
Correct. I was though talking about Carroll O'Connor starred in where he and someone else from another planet were sent there to observe and record a murder and the reason behind it. There were no monsters in that one.
JIGSAW 4 EVER c geoffrey You are thinking of "The Guests." The scariest one for me was "A Feasibility Study." I had night terrors after the episode. The rules of the show were that the "monster" had to be neutralized by show's end to dispel the fear. However, in that episode, the aliens only lost their motivation to kidnap people in their beds. But they still retained the power to do it. The subconscious mind didn't overlook that.
Many many many thanks for people like yourself who continue to put these type of programming Specialties on and that's what they are. What's today's garbage trash and programming with no thought at all I just love the old timers again my friend thank you very very much
When I was a kid we watched Outer Limits. As soon as we heard "theres nothing wrong with your television set" all us kids would run right to the tv. We sit there & not move. Pure fear. What a great time to grow up!
Wow! Do you know what that '64' Impala convertible shown in the Hertz ad would be worth today...especially if it had either the 327 CID or better yet the 409 CID?
Beyond Awesome Work Fred. I just thought you were doing a clip but went totally “Nicholas Cage” and did a full show with vintage commercials! I always thought Jerome Bixby’s “curse of the faceless man” would have made a good outer limits candidate too with it’s simple premise and 60 plus minute Running time.
Hated the commercials then, and I still hate them. Commercials are the best form of brainwashing that were ever devised. They get you to buy shit you don't need.
Actually the description of "living tumbleweeds" and "bunch of frogs", while very apt, doesn't diminish the creepiness of that episode. An invisible power trying to learn how to contact beings unlike itself, using familiar objects and lower life forms. A bit like that terrible old film THE BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES, but done with real atmosphere by the OL crew. The walking dead scene with Arthur Hunnicutt was very well done (in me 'umble opinion)/quite creepy.
Well done from a lifelong Outer Limits fan ! It was like watching an episode that I somehow had missed. I really like the way the incidental music was worked in. Great job !
Glad you enjoyed it, wpiehl.
Boy, the nights were so bright back then, you had to wear sunglasses! Thanks Fred, I loved The Outer Limits. It really brings back great childhood memories of sleep overs, watching The Outer Limits with friends and loving to be scared to death. What a wonderful carefree time of life! I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
Nor would I, Timhall52.
The technique was called Day for Night.
This is exactly what TH-cam is all about! I am sitting quietly ...
I like that they left the old adverts in, it adds to the nostalgia
That Hertz ad killed me! I never forgot that jingle or the flying gimmick. It was parodied pretty well in Mad Magazine
It's the wonderful, wonderful ,wonderful, freshness that softens your taste ,Salem cigarettes👀
The cigarette advertisements adds to the eerie horror too. Sarcastic happy go lucky jingle music and everything.
What a treat! I really enjoyed this, including the commercials! You took me back to a better, happier time (for me, anyway). Thank you, FredFlix, you did a wonderful job!
Glad you liked it, Cynthia.
Meeeeee too Doll face!

@Clay
And we're still alive... :)
My older sister Valerie had a Gilbert Chem Set!
Wonderful editing to create this "Outer Limits" episode! Thanks for the old TV ads as well. Some of them were just as horrible as they are today!
Well done! This certainly would have made a passable episode of Outer Limits, though it wouldn't have made my personal top 10. I was waiting throughout to see how you were going to handle the ending Control Voice moral-of-the-story, Fred, and you really knocked it out of the ballpark by finding one that was just generic enough to fit.

Nice of you to say, Brett.
Thank you SO MUCH for leaving in the commercials. My parents bought into this crap!
My favorite was the Sixth Finger with David McCalum . The Outer Limits was one of my favorites .
I thought that might have been Robert Culp?...the episode with the glass hand...
My absolute favorite show is from, "One Step Beyond."
titled : "The Man With The Power"
oh God... just thinking about that episode
still makes me cry, and cry, and I can't stop crying...
@@AlmaWells "The Man With The Power" was an Outer Limits episode.
Loved watching The Outer Limits.

As an eight year old this used to scare the crap out of me but I couldn’t wait for next week’s episode.
Yes, it was a great time to grow up!
Me too. I was six or seven!
I enjoyed this very much and the commercials, thank you.
Having a Salem cigarette after enjoying a good episode of the outer limits.
james mc.... the good doctor said “light up, smoking is good for you. Smoking calms the nerves”

Too KOOL I thank U for this.I loooove the theme music it always says by the sound "You're gonna see something scary and exciting!! Nessa was here 2020!! March Take care
Thanks, Vanessa. it's not clear from your comment whether you know this is a movie that I adapted into a fake Outer Limits episode.
@@FredFlix thanks for the info
The Hideous Sun Demon was a b-movie but to this day I always thought star, writer and director Robert Clarke did an admirable job. The end is somewhat intense and sad. It may have been based on a reversal of the Wolf Man (who was affected by the full moon) but this 1958 film fits beautifully in the FredFlix adaptation to The Outer Limits. Good job. This was done fairly well. The narration at the end from the original series fit the Sun Demon too.
Oh yeah, I was 7 when I first saw this film at a Saturday afternoon double-feature matinee with The Blob, or Caltiki the Immortal Monster -- I don't remember. I had to go home and look the word "hideous" up. That was the first time I learned a word that I had no idea about. When Kramer in Seinfeld said the word in one episode I laughed for ten minutes. B-movies tried so hard to stay within the bounds of reality in their fiction.
One of the spookiest strangest Outer Limits episodes was with George MacReady -- "Production and Decay of Strange Particles".
George Macready born in Providence, RI my home state. You must see him in the film 'Paths of Glory'...he was an outstanding character actor...
With Leonard Nimoy (Mr.Spock) couple years before Star Treck.
One of my favorites. My first introduction to sci fi
. Was outer limits, time tunnel and one step beyond
Mine too😊. It’s great watching these!
@@pam1574 yeah. Those were the best. Even though you don't you don'thave all the special effects it still surpasses in storyline etc.
@@brendaswampter2307
Exactly!!
@Brenda Swampter. • Can't dispute your good taste. An incredible time of creativity then. Never gets old either.
My gosh.the lost version.just kidding.great fantastic job on this guy's.i loved the original show.never missed a show.thanks for this treat.lol.
FredFlix, your editing of a horrible movie into a wonderful episode was brilliant! Well done - please keep up the great work!
Fantastic work Fred! Please! Don’t stop with the “Hideous Sun Demon” there’s so many titles which would be perfect for this format. Your use of original “Outer Limits” music cues (especially after the aspirin TV spot) we’re dead on. Thank you so much!
I am a Ph.D. scientist-engineer today because of The Outer Limits. I was 10 years old when I began watching it. I wanted to be that scientist in The Outer Limits that did frontier pioneering work. And so I did! It was Karma for me, and I consider myself an expert in the episodes of The Outer Limits. After all, it is the major guiding dogma that I have for my life as a scientist!
This episode was never broadcast because it lacks a certain dramatic suspense, humanistic anthology, and acting that other episodes have with more emphasis. It was essentially a 'Frankenstein' remake. At least the control voice ended the episode with "courage, Inspiration, and Integrity".....I add compassion to that mix, with a lot of other aspects of human attributes, virtues or not.
I am betting, given the limited budget that they had, and the producers of creative genius, they decided to scrap this episode and considered it a last resort. Just a guess, but thanks for your very good detective work and contribution!
Thank you to the producers of The Outer Limits for making what I am today!
Ron, I'm happy Outer Limits gave you a career and I know you're a scientist and all, but you missed the obvious: This was never intended as an Outer Limits episode: I took an old movie (The Hideous Sun Demon) and made a fake OL episode. It's very clear from the opening episode titles.
@@FredFlix I was suspicious of that. Thanks for the info....I believe I missed the opening titles as I was busy cooking.
@@ronpetkie1603 Cooking during a FredFlex video is a risky operation, Ron. :-)
@@FredFlix Compared to a genuine Outer Limits episode, it was rather a forced watch. The acting just wasn't there for me. But it was fun pretending that it could have been an Outer Limits episode! Your icon is of The Galaxy Being....the first Outer Limits episode ever! Happy Holidays!
Remember The Mysterians? Japanese flying saucers everywhere. I was so young and fascinated! Though I believe ET is here, I have never gotten to observe a craft, so I always ask complete strangers: "Have you ever seen a flying saucer?" The answer is commonly yes.
Enjoying the commercials in between the show. Thank you
My favorites from The Outer Limits were 1-The Zanti Misfits" 2-The Man Who Was Never Born"3- I forgot what its called but the house in it was a alien brain or something & people in it never aged unless they left the gateway. 4-Fun & Games
All good episodes, Jigsaw. But I'd have to pick "Demon with a Glass Hand" as my all-time favorite episode, though it certainly wasn't the scariest. I still think it was a terrible loss to humanity that _Babylon 5_ never did the crossover episode where Trent shows up on the station.
@@brettmiddleton7949 I think that the best ever episode
was "Feasibility Study". A true study in morality and
the terrible choices one sometimes has to make
to do the right thing.
JIGSAW 4 EVER c geoffrey
The episode which you're referring to is called "The Guests". It features Luana Anders and Gloria Graham. The alien/monster brain was the same costume prop which was used in " The Mice".
Correct. I was though talking about Carroll O'Connor starred in where he and someone else from another planet were sent there to observe and record a murder and the reason behind it. There were no monsters in that one.
JIGSAW 4 EVER c geoffrey
You are thinking of "The Guests."
The scariest one for me was "A Feasibility Study." I had night terrors after the episode. The rules of the show were that the "monster" had to be neutralized by show's end to dispel the fear. However, in that episode, the aliens only lost their motivation to kidnap people in their beds. But they still retained the power to do it. The subconscious mind didn't overlook that.
“Paging Dr Stern, dr Howard, dr Fine, dr Howard! Paging Mr. Herman!”
Well done, you really captured the spirit of the show...and I watched the originals some 50+ years ago.
Many many many thanks for people like yourself who continue to put these type of programming Specialties on and that's what they are. What's today's garbage trash and programming with no thought at all I just love the old timers again my friend thank you very very much
You're welcome, Gabriel.
When I was a kid we watched Outer Limits. As soon as we heard "theres nothing wrong with your television set" all us kids would run right to the tv. We sit there & not move. Pure fear. What a great time to grow up!
I agree. The only thing that scares kids these days is when the power goes off... only because they can’t play with their electronics.
Sad, huh?
Makes ya want to rent a car and smoke Salem LOL
When i hear that music i feel so intensely nostagic.
i'm glad i got to see this movie too.
A very good show! Thank you...
I remember the Outer Limits show on TV.
Man oh man I wanna rent a a Chevy Impala go to New Orleans and smoke some Salem’s. Let’s do it.
Lynda White you couldn't afford it
George Oliver Yeah, your probably right but I still wanna do it. Lol.
Don't we just love this classic stuff? It's weird though the cigarette commercial is scarier than the monster picture. Lol
make smoking the best part of your day (like prisoners)👍
Well done, first time seeing the Hideous Sun Demon, liked the embedded commercials and was waiting for one from Coppertone.
Thanks, Yuji.
Wow! Do you know what that '64' Impala convertible shown in the Hertz ad would be worth today...especially if it had either the 327 CID or better yet the 409 CID?
Beyond Awesome Work Fred. I just thought you were doing a clip but went totally “Nicholas Cage” and did a full show with vintage commercials!
I always thought Jerome Bixby’s “curse of the faceless man” would have made a good outer limits candidate too with it’s simple premise and 60
plus minute Running time.
I believe it was Vic Perrin (the Control Voice) who also narrated "Faceless Man", making it the only "feature film" episode of Outer Limits in a way!
I luv these old commercials takes me back to when i was a young kid and back before that Im very nostalgic
Hated the commercials then, and I still hate them. Commercials are the best form of brainwashing that were ever devised. They get you to buy shit you don't need.
i havnt seen outer limits in 45 years its nice seeing them again thanks for putting on .
We do not need Lionsgate or Paramount anyway.
My favorite one was with Eddie Albert about bunch of frogs
And living tumbleweeds.
Sounds like this one: www.wikiwand.com/en/Cry_of_Silence
"Cry Of Silence", also starring June Havoc, Arthur Hunnicutt
Actually the description of "living tumbleweeds" and "bunch of frogs", while very apt, doesn't diminish the creepiness of that episode. An invisible power trying to learn how to contact beings unlike itself, using familiar objects and lower life forms. A bit like that terrible old film THE BEAST WITH A MILLION EYES, but done with real atmosphere by the OL crew. The walking dead scene with Arthur Hunnicutt was very well done (in me 'umble opinion)/quite creepy.
Gil is an appropriate name for a guy who reverts back to an amphibian state.
This was a great episode of the outer limits I'd like to see more keep taking them out thank you for sharing 👍👍🇺🇸
Check the soundtrack for stock music that’s also used to great effect in Night of the Living Dead
Good ear. Yeah, from the Columbia library. It was also used in Wanted: Dead or Alive and The Texan.
Oh wow!
That stock music track was used in a dozen movies and TV shows from that period.
Hahahahaha, two ambulance attendants and they both get in the front seat. Nobody attends the patient? Is that The Keystone Kops Ambulance Crops?
Awesome... Just awesome. One of my favorite old movies and one of my favorite classic sci-fi TV shows became one
Glad you liked it, Dwayne.
This was incredible both programs edited together
Thanks, Patty.
