I live in MS now but I spent 40 years in Cali. The '63 Chevy Impala was the OG lowriders car in Cali when I lived there. All Chicano lowrider cars I saw were beautiful and some had $20,000 paint jobs. Plus they made them jump with special shocks. It's nice to see these old cars when they were brand new. Ralph Nader proved the compact model was a death trap.

This was for sure one of my Most Favorite Route 66 Episodes of all Time, It was Great to see Horror Movie Legends: Boris Karloff, Lon Chaney Jr. and Peter Lorre Get together for this, I can't Recall ever seeing Chaney Jr. and Lorre together in anything else! Loved seeing Karloff in his Frankenstein Monster Costume as well as Chaney Jr. in both his Wolfman and Mummy Costume Too, The HunchBack of Notre Dame Costume From his Sr. Father was Great on Chaney Jr. at the shows beginning, Such a Crying Shame that Bela Lugosi aka Dracula Couldn't have lived long enough to have done this with them, Loved The Complete Broadcast Commercials and Sponsor Ads in this and Also the Old Chicago view of the O'hare Restaurant and Hotel! Great Masterpiece of Traditional TV History! Wish we could go back to that Era Sometimes! Thank-You For Sharing and God Bless!

This originally aired on my birthday of October 26, 1962 and it has always stayed with me. I turned 8 years old that Friday and it was a thrill to be able to find it on You-tube and watched it again on my birthday a few years ago. What wonderful innocent times they were.

Hoping someone reading this can help. I used to have nightmares from the credits of Route 66 and Big G - which was the rename in the UK of a programme originally called Empire in the US ! I thought I was 4 at the time but found out in April I was not quite 3! There was a scene that used to appear at the end of the credits of both programmes, I think with a shouty word. A long word was displayed at the bottom of the screen and I think a man, woman and dog crossing the road left to right of the screen diagonally above! I remembered the theme tune of Route 66 and the advert break picture for Big G! I think Big G was shouted out at the beginning of the programme! Too young to remember the actual programmes! But I would like to face what frightened me! Thanks to KZbin have been able to face other credits, tunes on shows that gave me nightmares! Would appreciate any enlightenment on the startling extra end credit above! Was it only in the UK or only for a while?! Also would really appreciate seeing opening and closing credits for Big G as it was in the UK! Have already messaged the people who have put Empire on KZbin about these! But if anyone can help on this also, it wd be fantastic!

It's a great combination of Tod Stiles (Martin Milner) and Buzz Murdock (George Maharis) with the great horror stars, Boris Karloff (the Frankenstein monster) and Lon Chaney Jr (the Mummy and the Wolfman). I'm not sure who Peter Lorre was trying to portray, although he could been Dracula with the cape and the hat. Too bad Bela Lugosi wasn't alive to portray Dracula. Bela would have been 80 years old in 1962. Boris Karloff was about 75 years old, Peter Lorre was about 58 years old and Lon Chaney Jr was about 56 years old in this Route 66 episode.

Interesting early women’s liberation movement theme thrown in this story- but in 1963 women were still pretty much viewed as “ the weaker sex” and this was only promoted by those included fainting scenes...par for the course back in that era. Today’s woman would probably kick their monster asses - and definitely not settle for lower wages for similar work performed. Times have certainly changed. Also, interesting to see pre Marlboro Man commercials for this tobacco company’s product.

The lovely detail about this episode's writing is that the Gerenuk is real. Peter Lorre's description is accurate; from Wikipedia, " The scientific name of the gerenuk is Litocranius walleri. The gerenuk is the sole member of the genus Litocranius, and is placed in the family Bovidae. The species was first described by Anglo-Irish naturalist Victor Brooke in 1878. In 1997, Colin Groves proposed that Litocranius is a sister taxon of Ammodorcas, the similarly long-necked Clarke's gazelle, but withdrew from this in 2000. The vernacular name "gerenuk" comes from the Somali word gáránúug , meaning "giraffe-necked".It is also known as the "giraffe gazelle" due to its resemblance to the giraffe." .

This is definitely going into my " Monster Kid File " KZbin file. It's a pity that Peter Lorre didn't go for the creepy "M" character. It's doubtful anyone would remember Mr. Moto, even in the sixties. That's probably why they just threw a quasi Dracula/Jack the Ripper suit on him.

All kidding aside,as good as Charles Laughton was as Quasimodo..Lon Chaney Jr would have taken the character to another level..For one thing..Charles Laughton was a marshmellowy ,gargoyle type..hard to believe he possessed incredible physical strength,(as described in the book) Chaney Jr,on the other hand conveyed this quality with the character of Lennie in "Of Mice and Men"..Also Chaney Jr was passionate about playing the role his Father made famous..
