I love the old science fiction movies from the ‘50’s and ‘60’s. It was when I grew up and there is no argument that some of the best Sci-Fi movies ever made came from then. Conversely some of the worst Sci-Fi movies ever made also came from the same era, which gave rise to Mystery Science Theatre 3000. Frank Zappa also weighed in on the some of the movies created then with his song “Cheepnis”

If you so desire, follow the link and you’ll get some insight into my past as well!

So last week on a day off I settled in to watch “War of the Worlds,” the original from 1953 with Gene Barry. It was great to see, it’s been years since I’ve watched it. So when I got up the next morning I was quite surprised to see this guy across the street, staring at our house, I was pretty sure that he had arrived from some other planet during the night. I think his name is Clawd…..





Once I got brave enough to venture out though, I was pretty sure that he came in this, it must have been dropped off somewhere by the mother ship.



I'm going to be keeping a close eye on the sky, I don't know if more of them will be arriving or not. Summer sure is strange in the desert...
