October 16 is
Lost in Space Day—for on that date in 1997 (in the first episode of the classic TV, broadcast on CBS on September 15, 1965), the "Space Family" Robinson, the Robot and "reluctant stowaway" Dr. Zachary Smith blasted off aboard the
Jupiter II—and were soon, well, lost in space. Can this wonderful TV series be considered part of
Countdown to Halloween 2013? Of course, for it featured some horrifying space creatures (just ask Dr. Smith). To celebrate October 16, 2013, here is a intergalactic gallery of some ghastly outer space goons—plus the treat (no trick) of a CBS publicity photo of Will Robinson Halloweening with some classic
Lost in Space creatures.
This is absolutely WONDERFUL.
ReplyDeleteNever saw the Will Halloween still before!
Joe, glad you liked it! I'm glad we are both such LIS fans. I always enjoy your LIS posts, right down to your frequent use of the Season 3 countdown numbers! And I laughed out loud at your great Dr. Smith/Walking Dead mash-up. Your Smith dialog/characterization was spot-on.
