1978 fan-film version of MOONRAKER

Hey, remember MOONRAKER?  No, not the crummy Roger Moore Bond flick from 1979 (though at least it had Richard Kiel) -- the 8mm silent film adaptation of Ian Fleming's novel made one year before by recent high school graduate Stuart Basinger.  (No relation to NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN star Kim.)  You can find more info on this production here.

Watch This Thing - Paul Lynde does the Toledo weather

Don't know who Paul Lynde is?  Look him up, you're on the internet.  Here he is, in the most '70s outfit possible, giving the weather report on a Toledo television station in 1978.  Worth it alone for the moment when Lynde notices that one temperature is 69 degrees.

Watch This Thing - Celebrate Charles Bronson's birthday by imitating his scent with MANDOM

Happy birthday, Charles Bronson!  We all dream of smelling like you, at least according to this 1978 commercial for the scent "Mandom."  Mmmmm.

Watch This Thing - Sam Raimi's early short film CLOCKWORK

Sam Raimi turns 55 today, and he'll always have a place at the psychotronic fan table for the EVIL DEAD films.  While the short film that provided the basis for those films, WITHIN THE WOODS, has been commonly seen on the bootleg circuit for years, his 1978 short CLOCKWORK is a creepy little entry that deserves credit all its own.
