Blue Dogs Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 I also remembered that Ch. 13 used to have the "Late, Late Show" , showing old and new movies back in the mid 80s.In 1981, they had the "All Night Movies": there was a video on YouTube about it from that year, but it's not on there now for some reason.

mollusk Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Oh, yes. That movie taught me to be cautious whenever I started feeling lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Dogs Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 Particularly, the gory Strange Invaders movie: where you frequently see people taking off their masks in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledevil Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I remember one movie in particular from 13's late Saturday night showing. I don't know the name of it, and haven't seen the movie since then, but it had two brothers involved, the bad brother was killed, so they sewed his head on the good brother's shoulder, which gave the bad brother partial control over the host body, and resulted in a two-headed guy running around killing people. I wish I could remember the name of it, the movie had 70s horror written all over it, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 They also showed Robert Redford's The Candidate movie of 1972. Very good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 IIRC, they also showed The Thief Who Came To Dinner - with all its panoramic shots of downtown sky where buildings would be ten years later - with distressing regularity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fringe Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I not only remember the movie I once visited the original movie location in Brackettville. I don't think it's around any more.

mollusk Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The Thief Who Came To Dinner was pretty cheesy (Ryan O'Neill probably wants to forget he was in it), Captain Harold is one of the few things I remember from that general period of time ( ), and we once actually had a family vacation to Alamo Village waaaaaay back when, before the Tourist Attraction that was supposed to be generated by the movie set promptly went broke. Since we were a bunch of boy kids, we had a ton of fun re enacting what we imagined the war to have been, in between being bounced around the mesquites in a Jeep that was old even then. Veering sorta back onto topic, who remembers that other Channel 13 movie fest, Dialing For Dollars? In the days before call waiting, any time they used the first few digits of our phone number a small riot would break out if Mom was at the kitchen sink, yakking away with the next door neighbor at her kitchen sink across the driveways.

Blue Dogs Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Mollusk, here's one of Ch. 13's Saturday Night Movie videos from December 1, 1984: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 ^ Egad. Was that really 30 years ago? A very brief clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJtEVXKl1yU Cadet Don was always clean shaven when I watched him before going to school. The closing shot of him peeling out onto Bissonnet in his Corvette undoubtedly inspired an entire generation of Houston drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Mollusk, 30 years ago is pretty long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollusk Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (*sigh...*) I know 30 years is a long time. I guess I'll just draw some solace from the fact that Dave Ward still looks exactly the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 I've also noticed that Ch. 13's Saturday Night Movie had the XL Energy music in their opens too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purpledevil Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Mollusk, 30 years ago is pretty long ago.What are you calling us, old?? Lol, I remember your video like it was yesterday. You'll see, BlueDogs. The older you get, the faster the years fly by. Memories from 30 years ago are more vivid to me than what I was doing 30 days ago. Thanks for posting these old videos, BD. Some of the stuff you've presented, I've never come across on YouTube. Now, get off the lawn, you lil' whipper snapper! Edit: Corrected misspelling.

Blue Dogs Posted August 29, 2014 Author Share Posted August 29, 2014 Get off the lawn ?My father is 64 and my mother is 61. My older brothers and sisters are either in early 30s or mid to late 30s: I'm one of 14 kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little frau Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I not only remember the movie I once visited the original movie location in Brackettville. I don't think it's around any more. We visited there with a group of about 100 vintage automobiles in '07 or '08 and it was still there, complete with outbuildings and "restaurant" where we had hamburgers and trimmings. The Alamo was looking kinda sad though..... I don't know if the original owners are around now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
