Other-Boy could this have used a Tron/Theremin backing track

Other-Boy could this have used a Tron/Theremin backing track

2010-09-06 by johnm400s911

I read about this film short in the paper this morning and of course it's on Youtube.  This originally appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1956.  Can you imagine the audience reaction to this? Enjoy.

Thanks John-
   Ironic.  I just got done re-reading the novel "Warday", a fictional account of the aftermath of a Soviet-US exchange.  In the book, EMP destroys all electronics first.  Because of the proximity to the US, Mexico and Canada are pretty pissed, as they lost all electronics too.
   Very sad stuff.  Makes you wonder how many nukes may be hidden and ready.

I don't remember a whole lot of what I saw on television when I was 8 years old, but I remember seeing this, just once. It scared the shit out of me and has haunted me ever since. It's hard to watch even now. The melting faces and the Theremin.
