Any afternoon that The Crawling Eye (aka The Trollenberg Terror) would air on either KTVU's Chiller Diller or KBHK's Monstrous Movie was a good one. Despite its being mocked and ridiculed on the very first episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000, that fact is eclipsed by my fond memories of it scaring the daylights out of me, back in the day.
There is also the acknowledgment John Carpenter has given the film as a seminal influence on his own cult classic shocker, The Fog. I think the influence is quite obvious, too. Something that only makes me love both movies all the more.
