X the Unknown

We want to do this movie, and you need to write a screenplay for it.

It's a movie called X, The Unknown.

And he looked at him.

He goes, well, wait a minute.

Aw.

Um...

And if anybody has anything nasty to say about her, he's one of the first people, like, first of all, X, Y, and Z, you don't know shit.

Yeah.

And I'm Julie.

This year, we mark the spot with X the Unknown from 1956, and then we dive into one of the most doctor-packed movies ever made, The Arizona Solution from 1993.

Our musical intro was from George C.

Music on YouTube, who creates tons of variations of the Doctor Who theme.

As you probably already know, each year we select two horror films with a major Who connection, usually starring one of the actors that have portrayed the Doctor, and we will go through each film one by one with questions provided by me to the rest of the Watchers gang.

Now, I will admit that the Arizona Solution is a bit of a stretch to call horror, but with this many Doctors, how could we not do it? Now I'm going to go through our Who connections for each film.

X the Unknown has William Lucas from Frontios, who played Mr.

Range.

By this time, Hammer had released The Quatermass Experiment, which was, as we've discussed, a huge success, and had realized that there was much money to be made in adapting the TV science fiction of Nigel Kneale.

They released their own variation on a Quatermass story almost with X the Unknown in 1956, and they had also already completed production on Quatermass 2.

And so it made perfect sense that The Creature should be their next film adaptation.

Hammer bought the rights to the teleplay from the BBC in November 1956.
