A movie scene that has stayed in my head for 50+ years
« on: May 12, 2021, 11:27:51 AM »
Have had a movie scene stuck in my head for over 50 years now and never knew where it came from. A few days ago I decided to google "demon", "Train" since I suspected it came from a movie and found it on YT. Don't remembered actually watching it back then so I guess I saw it when I was ~3 or 4 on a B/W TV in a dark living room in the late 60s and this scene has haunted me ever since without knowing where the images in my head came from.

Neat.  Pretty good for the time.

There was a demonic movie that used to play on the ABC 3 O'Clock Movie a lot when I was a kid.  It always freaked me out a little.  It had a short name like Y2 or something like that.

Isn't that movie referenced in the Rocky Horror Picture Show opening song?  (Science Fiction Double Feature)  "Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes..."
