My Favorite so-called "Holiday" Freak Outs!

I always liked Halloween. Now that it's October I started thinking about the old scary movies I watched as a child. After staying up late and watching Creature Feature, I used to look up from my bed at the window with the blinds closed, thanking God that there was a whole Pacific ocean and half a continent between myself and Godzilla.

My father introduced me to his generation of monsters, portrayed by Lon Chaney, Bella Lugosi and Boris Karloff. As  my father outgrew his monsters and fell into his Establishment Workstyle, the Zeitgeist of the horror genre evolved.

Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Ray Milland were just a few of the next generation of actors in the horror genre. Ray Milland sticks in my mind most of all because of the horrific scene at the very end of The Man With The X-Ray Eyes. I'm not going to spoil it for you.

Anyway, I was Googling old classic monster images and they just seemed ridiculously funny. At the same time I was watching the show 'Heroes' on Netflix as I came across an old photo of Ray Milland.

I started to freak out.

This isn't just one of those "Separated at Birth" situations.
