This is my grown-up version of the
classic, The Third Eye but rather than focus on the supernatural I prefer
mysteries and science fiction instead. In this series I alternate between
traditional mysteries as well as science fiction films mostly from the ‘50’s
and ‘60’s.
Happy Labor Day and welcome
to “Mystery Monday”, a bi-monthly, new feature here at The Classic Nickelodeon
Fan Blog. “Mystery Monday” will feature both mystery films and retro science
fiction films; this is my version of “The Third Eye,” but without the
paranormal aspect.
As mentioned, “Mystery Monday”
will be a bi-monthly feature alongside, “Lights, Camera, Action! – Movie Making Tips
for Beginners & Pros,” which will be featured the other two Mondays of the
month. It is, as the title suggest for both beginners and professional filmmakers
and is of course my version of “Standby! Lights! Camera! Action!”
To start things off I’d like
to introduce you to two of my favorite crime solving Ladies of Mystery; Kellie
Martin staring as “Samantha Kinsey” Samantha is an avid murder-mystery fan who
inherits a bookstore from her uncle who passed away in the first film. Her
extensive knowledge of murder-mystery books assists her in her amateur
sleuthing.
Our second Lady of Mystery is
Candace Cameron Bure who stars as “Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden” in the Aurora Teagarden
Mysteries. Roe is a librarian in the small town of Lawrenceton, Washington who
runs the Real Murders Club.
So, without further ado,
welcome to Mystery Mondays!
