Because the answer to "what is IN these things?" was "unconvincing rubber puppets." <br /><br />Not that I'm arguing for CGI vs. practical effects; I'm sure that would have made most if not all of these worse. It's just that the horror of the 80's and early 90's tended to have box art far outstripping anything actually found in the movie, versus the "guys with guns and hovering faces" ouevre of today.Shalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153792149159676633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14812333.post-23380178507930679822012-12-31T14:31:28.771-06:002012-12-31T14:31:28.771-06:00Adam- Never forget, Rooney voiced Santa in two Ran...Adam- Never forget, Rooney voiced Santa in two Rankin/Bass specials.<br /><br />Too-Tickii- And I imagine those are part of what you're talking about, but it sounds like you have more in mind?<br /><br />Rick- There's a LOT of material out there, for anyone who wants to make this meme happen.
