I remember seeing it when it opened, more than a few had to leave their seats during the film. The hype before going had me a bit freaked. I think my girlfriend had to walk out at one point.
Robby the Robot ......................................... Forbidden Planet
The first time I saw it was at a drive-in theater in rural Virginia, when we were visiting my grandmother. That dark old house out in the valley was creepy enough, as it was. Trying NOT to think of the movie was impossible.
