If you grew up in Boston during the Creature Feature years, you know Reptilicus.  If you have not, expect some fine Havarti at the Somerville.

oh yea follow the bouncing kroner.  Practice now so you can sing along.

Sorry, it seems that Jan in the pan will have to continue to stew in her own juices.

Like many performers before him, Reptilicus started his career in television.

...

Wanting to broaden his range from children's comedy to darker roles, he opted to play the heavy in his big screen debut.

...

His big screen success was short lived and he found himself back where he started. Meanwhile, his professional colleagues, Kermit the Frog and Howdy Doody (under the screen name Ron Howard) went on to big screen fame. -RF Wink

my mistake. reptilicus has never played the marathon. i'd even say it was a longstanding ommission. LIKE "THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE" Angry
i have seen it recently and i watched the whole damn thing.
in my early youth it played perpetual rotation with "the thing" "godzilla" "the giant behemoth" and "beast from 20,000 fathoms" on sunday morning.
