The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - December 30, 1969

The first movie in what would become the Dexter Riley trilogy might not seem to some to be a subject worthy of a post on a horror-themed blog like Ghoulies, Ghosties, and Long-Leggedy Beasties, but these movies served as my gateway into the "mad scientist" sub-genre. So there.

I am also happy to share that I was able to see every single one of the Dexter Riley films on the big screen, but I was far too young to catch any of these Special New Year's Eve Show screenings being advertised here.
