"Bijou Bob" Statzer deposited some photos in our email today that gave us pause for some warm fuzzy recollections! Remember those coupons that would be enclosed in Disney Home Movie reels (as well as Bell & Howell Super 8 equipment), back in the day? In exchange for a small postage fee these could be redeemed for select FREE premiums, including this collection of illustrated cards to "make professional-like home movie titles easy," as the envelope proclaims. And whose Super 8 production couldn't benefit from Disney bullpen artists boosting his production values a few notches? We bet even Spielberg implemented a few of these titles in his earliest "Super 8 Super Spectaculars"!...

Greenbriar Picture Shows is hands down the best site for general film essays on the internet, period!
If your heart beats faster at the mention of "Forrest J. Ackerman," "Aurora monster models" or "Shock Theater," be sure to check out artist Kerry Gamill's Classic Horror Film Board.
Our good pal "Bijou Bob 8mm" Statzer is one of the board's resident kibitzers and pontificates there much and profoundly, to our continual edification!
