I actually really liked it a lot, while Garrrrrry (how many R's was that" Mills struck me as just another song from that era. I'd not heard it before. Perhaps if I heard it in the context of the movie it would strike me better. But, that is unlikely to happen since I refuse to watch horror films. Period.<br /><br />You cannot fill a vessel already full, and I'd rather my mind was filled with Bob and Ray than Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But late 50's early 60's horror is probably not so wild, I'd guess.Sheboyganboy VInoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-52564344760690226232015-05-16T20:28:59.165-07:002015-05-16T20:28:59.165-07:00I have to vote for Garry Mills' campy version!...I have to vote for Garry Mills' campy version!
