I thought you might be interested in some background on Monte Hale, the western movie idol posing with Ida Seitz Plokuda & Mickey Wanjura Dylla in the picture shown in last week's post. (He had a bit part in "Giant.")
After looking closely at the photo from last week, I had to research "The Mask." I found info at the link below. It was a 3-D film made in Canada - that country's first horror film! Sounds like it's pretty horrible.
I wonder if anyone else remembers "The Tingler." It was another horror movie with a technological gimmick. Theater operators put buzzers under random seats & set them off at suspenseful moments in the film. I remember seeing "The Mask" and wearing the disposable 3-D 'glasses' with red & green lenses. I'm pretty sure I saw "The Tingler," but I don't recall the buzzers. (Notice that the trailer is available on IMDb, if you need a reminder.)
