It was Halloween Weekend, 1976, and I was working in the college union as an AV technician, running a horror film marathon on the projection TV from a 3/4U Sony tape deck.

I'm sure we showed the 1929 film, *Un Chien Andalou* by Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí‎, but I doubt this moment came from that.

I've hated horror films ever since...

The scene is definitely not from "Un Chien Andalou".

That image makes me think of "The Legend of Boggy Creek", which came out in 1972. I remember it as being pretty creepy!

No, it isn't. But we showed that one four times that day. It had a certain appeal for those who like razor blades slashing through eyeballs. I wasn't one of them.

Beautifully composed, Bill. Great B&W subject.

Thanks! I’d never seen this until a few months ago. I had dozens of rolls of film from college that I had processed but never printed.
