In Search Of...

I saw Leonard Nimoy on something the other day and immediately what came rushing to my mind wasn’t Star Trek for which he is most well-known, but rather In Search Of. For me, Leonard Nimoy does not evoke the even keeled Spock, but rather the eerie voice of one of the scariest show that was ever made. This show used to scare the mess outta me. I think it came on Saturday nights. I totally remember being scared out of my mind but not being able to turn the channel. To my young mind, the reenactments were just too realistic and eyewitnesses too convincing. The show topics were always something scary as hell, like ghosts or alien abductions. I specifically remember the episode on Bigfoot. I was convinced that Bigfoot would make his way to my 2nd story bedroom one night and get me. It makes my skin crawl to hear the opening sequence, even now! This crap is still scary 30 years later! (Seriously, as I sit here and watch this clip my stomach is starting to hurt!!!) Yikes, I hope I can sleep tonight!
