Way back in the early 70s I saw an obscure sci-fi movie on Bob Wilkins show that I can’t remember the name. It was a sort of time-travel theme - or maybe inter-dimensional travel with a group of people time-traveling together. It wasn’t very good, but it had one very clever moment. Early in the film, one of the people in the group looked over her shoulder and quickly said “what was that?”. Nobody answered, and the movie just kept playing. Towards the end, the group had managed to get into some dimension where they were traveling through time at a different speed, and encountered themselves back in that earlier scene – but saw themselves almost standing still. Actually they saw themselves moving, but very slowly. They wandered around themselves, as if looking at statues of themselves. They then ran off. Immediately after, the movie sped up the “slow” versions of the people, and the woman said her line “what was that?”, and of course then you knew that what she had seen, was themselves at a very fast speed.

Another movie I saw on Bob Wilkins and always wondered what it was, was a campy horror flick in which two young kids (boy and girl, about 7 or 8 years old) were raised by their father. The father died, and the kids managed to turn him into a zombie. Various social workers would come by and try to take the kids to foster care, and the kids didn’t want to leave their home, so they’d “wake up” their daddy/zombie who would then kill the intruder and dispose of the body. It was hilarious and VERY low budget. I especially liked when someone would drive up the driveway, and the kids would look at each other and say “I guess we’re going to have to wake up daddy again.”
