The shadow memory may well be from the Year Two episode of "Night Gallery", "Certain Shadows On The Wall".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181392771980428240.post-7418423386372854742012-07-22T20:51:31.751-07:002012-07-22T20:51:31.751-07:00Thanks.

I still have quite a few AH mystery mags from the 70s, some of the Hitch photo covers of which I "enhanced" with Salvador Dali moustaches and the like... The incarnate shadow snippet triggers some vague memory as well.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698260708096834612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181392771980428240.post-16456145326778013622012-07-22T09:43:05.055-07:002012-07-22T09:43:05.055-07:00Good review..the stories in this book are tasty no...Good review..the stories in this book are tasty not only for themselves, but for their gestalt, bringing me to another, more surrealist time. Doomsday Deferred, for instance, takes me back to the era of great movies and tv shows. Wasn't there some film with C. Heston in a thriller Amazonian film, involving a terrible plague of army ants? Shadow, Shadow, reminds me of a snippet of tv I saw when I was very young, involving an incarnate shadow on a staircase, terrifying at the time (I wonder if it was in fact from an A. Hitchcock presents episode?) I need to start collecting A. H's Mystery mags again, regretting that I jettisoned them long ago. They were comforting things, with their pulp smell and duo-tone, low budget illustrations. Would that we could turn back the clock to the "low budget" era, a tad sweeter than our current "no budget" period.romanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176435889205340994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181392771980428240.post-76832738519835829132012-07-11T21:53:57.089-07:002012-07-11T21:53:57.089-07:00Rob, I could stand to see some of his movies over ...Rob, I could stand to see some of his movies over again, and there are still a few of his I haven't seen yet.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698260708096834612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181392771980428240.post-49607717959275979762012-07-11T11:42:51.677-07:002012-07-11T11:42:51.677-07:00So you're reading Hitchcock, that option is ne...So you're <i>reading</i> Hitchcock, that option is new to me.
