Vintage Chief Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I know 'The Blob' was released as a 'B' movie in the drive-in theaters in 1958; and, I don't recall what year I watched the original 'The Blob' on my parents Black & White television but it scared the living shit out of my brother and myself when we watched it one late night - 1959 maybe?. I recall it as the first Steve McQueen movie I saw and many (most/all) which followed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Chief Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I never really knew 'why' they used the Indian Head in the RCA sign-on/sign-off image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Chief Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I realize it was a test pattern since I often accompanied my dad to the drug store to get some new vertical &/or horizontal television tubes; yet, why the Indian Head?

It is Baloon Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 ....why the Indian Head? I dunno. But, can offer a couple guesses. 1. Indian Head...symbol of America and U.S. leadership in TV communications technology during an earlier age of TV entertainment. 2. Indian Head has plenty of visual detail for "TV Techie GEEKS" to analyze.

It is Baloon Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 As a kid I could never forget the haunting scene of Steve Mc., with a satchel charge, in flames of that hitlerian MG 42, concrete, bunker.
