Sometimes I watch a local channel that has old TV shows late at night and tonight there was one called "Special Delivery" on Alfred Hitchcock about aliens from outer space invading Earth through mushrooms. It was called "Special Delivery" because there was an ad in the back of some magazine about making money from growing mushrooms in the basement and kids were sending off for them. The aliens were able to take over a person's body when they ate the mushrooms. The old shows from way back then don't have special effects like shows do now, but they were a lot more thought provoking.

I like the Alfred Hitchcock shows, too. Some say the old shows from the 50s are unrealistic, but one doesn’t need a lot of sex, filthy language and overt violence to convey horror. I recall one about a boy who did all sorts of terrible things and actually tried to kill the woman next door. |
