THE CREATION OF THE HUMANOIDS

Could the special mystery title at tomorrow's "Shock & Awe" film festival (in Toronto) be the 1962 rarity The Creation of the Humanoids? I saw it back at Toronto's 1991 "B-Movie Festival" (which vapourized when the fest's organizer Chris Holland left town), and proclaim it to be a fine film. "It felt more like an essay than a film" is what my movie-mate said right after the screening, but it was more a textural comment than a condemnation.

BOMP! Sorry-- no point for the middle square, but thanks for playing.

Well, what was it, fool?!

... "Cyborg 2087"?

Sorry, Dion put us under oath not reveal the title. Of course I question the legality of such matters, as duress and weak state of mind due to sleep deprivation would nullify such an agreement. But still, if a blood ritual is good for The Wild Wild World of Batwoman and her intrepid batgirls, it's okay for us, I guess. (no, that's not the title)

Cripes! Did you guys recreate that scene out of "Doctor Death" where John Considine says something like, "you are never to reveal what you see or you and your loved ones will experience endless suffering"?

Was Dion playing the good doctor?
