I'm not sure what the actual connection was, though. I do know that this association added to my confusion, to my erroneous certainty that this must be a scene from some well known horror film.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00263957025573611416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3852401976091776228.post-54998632039983881382016-12-07T22:29:40.670-05:002016-12-07T22:29:40.670-05:00Mike,

It was part of Aurora's "Universal Monsters" series that featured such classics as Frankenstein's Monster, The Mummy and The Creature From the Black Lagoon. As a kid in 1966 I wondered exactly what film this scene came from; it took me a while to figure out that it was simply a generic scene of Gothic horror...and a delightful one at that!
