Tonights movie was Quatermass and the Pit.
When I saw it on WVEC 13's afternoon movie, it was called Five Million Years to Earth and there was a little confusion on my part when I learned of the original title- how could a movie have two titles?  My tiny pre-teen brain was confused.
A lot about this movie confused me.  Missing link skeletons.  Unexploded bombs under London.  Insects.  Martians.  And the Devil.
It made more sense upon subsequent viewings as I got older.
Everyone had such a cool accents, being British, compared to the All American kids in The Giant Gila Monster and the All American Scientists in the classic War of the Worlds, two of the regular movies during the "Horror" weeks.
At some point I'd love to hit the microfiche machines at the library and see what other movies they'd broadcast- usually at Halloween and weeks that would end on Friday the 13th.
