If you have a story to tell send it to my personal messenger, and a photo or two would be nice.

I started collecting when I was 9 years old. I’m 62 now. My first purchase was a 50′ reel of Dracula. The box intrigued me but I didn’t have a projector yet. At Christmas I got a Super 8 Argus projector from Sears. I grew my collection gradually, adding some Erroll Flynn movies and monster movies (Godzilla and the like) I would show them to friends and family. My budget was small, but I would save up. I still have all but 1 or two. These films were purchased at KMart, but around 73 or so, I discovered Blackhawk mail order. I wanted everything and was also able to get Walton thru mail order. I graduated to sound around 78 or so. What a wonderful time and hobby.
