  1. Outer Limits 1964 : "The Special One"

     

    The government special educator (alien) has some kind of device, can't recall what it looked like, that recreates the atmosphere of his home world. I always think of it like being inside one of those 'snowballs' that you shake for effect. In the episode, it looks like the alien is in a room full of goose down feathers spining in a slow vortex around him. Like being in the middle of a good pillow fight.

     

    Yeah... that's the ticket

     

    The original Outer Limits series is my all time favorite thing of all things. Anywhere.

     

    I'm always in awe of the range of imagination and writing.

  2. I swear I didn't plan this...

     

    I've got the tv on with the sound muted. Just read the last post and looked up to see Carpenter's 'Halloween' on tv about an hour into it.. Jamie Lee Curtis is babysitting, sitting on the couch in the living room with her charge and the shot moves to the black & white movie they're watching... 'The Thing' I'm all creeped out now.

  3. Fred Astaire: Royal Wedding - 1951

     

    Fred performs a dance routine that covers all the walls, floor and ceiling. This is the oldest film I can think of which uses the rotating set gimmick. Though I wouldn't put it past Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton to have thought it up first...
