From Bodysnatchers to the Borg and Beyond
Given the association of misfortune with this day, Friday the 13 th , I guess you could attribute it to the (bad) luck of the draw that, for the second month in a row, it’s my day up. And this time I don’t have he mitigating influence of Valentine’s Day to soften the blow.
When I was growing up in Columbus, Ohio, there was a Friday night TV show called Chiller Theater that featured horror and sci-fi flicks from just before midnight on. Friday the 13 th was usually an occasion for especially spooky fare, and yet some of the scariest movies we watched in those years were the science fiction offerings from the 1950s, when both the threat of nuclear annihilation and the Red Menace were at their peak.
