I would like to compare it to the radio and TV adaptations.<br /><br />I was unaware of the earlier use of theremin. Composer Bernard Hermann helped to popularize the sound in the original "The Day The Earth Stood Still." It became such a cliche that Hermann refused to use it in other movies. He came to hate that "science fiction sound."Ray Palm (Ray X)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01600471069648853966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574854931901227262.post-78287035666270055242017-09-16T11:40:17.405-05:002017-09-16T11:40:17.405-05:00Yes, and it probably stretches further than I'...Yes, and it probably stretches further than I've been able to trace, since I'm guessing it was imitated and assimilated so early on that a lot of its influence was 2nd or 3rd-hand. The next part is on ufology, then the last is on science fiction movies, with a rare comic book thrown along the way for good measure.<br /><br />I'd not heard about the Delta Green cycle, but ufology is chock full of such instances of the chicken eating the egg.Curt Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13773941506205598439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574854931901227262.post-60253931328900632512017-09-15T22:15:33.756-05:002017-09-15T22:15:33.756-05:00Interesting post, since it is exposing the feedbac...Interesting post, since it is exposing the feedback link between popular accounts of UFOs in entertainment and subsequent accounts that appear in the UFOlogical literature. Though in this case you have a story that brings together existing threads in the UFOlogical literature, combines them into a single narrative, becomes widely disseminated by a variety of means and then re-emerges into the UFOlogical literature.<br /><br />I've not seen anything quite like this since someone alerted me to the existence of a website that had copied (fictional) material written for the Delta Green role playing game (The game itself was inspired in part by the X-Files TV series and 70s/80s UFO Lore.) and was presenting it as evidence of a US Government UFO coverup.Grahamnoreply@blogger.com
