Aweful Movies with Deadly Earnest

"Deadly Earnest" was Australia's successful 1960's answer to the USA's mid-50's "Vampira" - the original TV Horror Host.

"Deadly" was popular growing up in Melbourne, both with my friends and myself - my big sister was not so impressed. We would watch him introduce movies on Friday nights on Reg Ansett's ATV-0 Channel Melbourne. (Later to become part of the National 10 network.)

He would often take his google-eyes out of his head to "polish them".... this impressed me greatly and helped to set the scene for the movie to follow.

The phrase "Polish up my eyeballs" is forever embedded in my memory.
