I saw it on a VCR in 1983, the year after it came out. I had spent the morning in a grammar exam for a Latin intensive program and then on to the funeral of a fellow speed freak.
Then I partied with some friends after the funeral until about midnight. Weed and beer. No hallucinogens.
So I told a shortcut through this sort of underpass that went under the church and saved me a block.
First thing I see is a passed out dude in a polka dot costume, just like the monster in the movie.
As if that wasn’t enough, he’s next to a shopping cart full of body parts. I’m sure it was just some . mannequin parts he got from some clothing store on Telegraph Avenue.
But some kind of warning bell went off in my head: just keep walking. The memory is still vivid many years later.
The “just keep walking” thing has kept me out of a lot of shit in life.
And yeah, I haven’t had speed in several decades .
