Dinosaurs never truly left our Earth. Sure there are alligators, Komodo Dragons, ostriches and other distant relatives. But there still are Tyrannosaurs, Stegosauruses, Brontosaurs, Pteranodons. They live in our imaginations as to what they were really like. They appear in movies, TV, folklore and conspiracy theories...maybe even...Loch Ness in Scotland. But, mostly in our awe and fascination. I'm brought this up before, how dinosaurs were a stepping stone to my love of classic monster movies. But here are a few thoughts that I might not have touched on. The pop culture of dinosaurs and how they affected me from as far back as I can remember...like just flashes from when I was three, to a more conscious impact from age four on to this day.
What was it about dinosaurs? They were big, mysterious reptile-like giants. Maybe the fact that they no longer walked the Earth, you couldn't see them in a zoo or on film footage from darkest Africa, added to the mystique. Dangerous real-life monsters that were scary in the back of your head, yet (thankfully) you knew they weren't around any more to step on you, or...eat you! Along the way film imaginings of dinosaurs swept me up. Watching a dinosaur-like monster from Venus with my dad in 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH. Seeing GORGO with my cousins in Ohio on TV. Watching DINOSAURUS on TV, cross-legged on the living room carpet enthralled at a little boy riding a Brontosaur. Attending a "Kiddie Matinee" at the local theater for a dubbed movie from Czechoslovakia called JOURNEY TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME where kids ride a raft back to prehistoric times. The big world premiere of ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. on television. All of these movies had such an impact. In toys, there were the Marx dinosaurs...a set I got one Christmas, a treasure. Somehow those Marx dinosaurs found there way into puffed rice cereal boxes as free toys. A mechanized Tyrannosaur with a battery pack and eyes that lit up red was a gift at Christmas one year, too. Model kits of the dinosaurs were glued, painted and rested on my shelves...soon to be joined by Aurora monsters.
These long gone creatures that left the Earth through volcanic catastrophe or renegade meteorite, or some other mystery, left big footprints. Footprints on the minds of so many young kids growing up. Here I sit typing and on my desk over half a century later, my encounters continue. Small plastic figures, a dinosaur ruler and a postcard from The Dinosaur Museum...they all still live here, if only on my desk and in my mind. Ron Adams Ligonier, PA May 2023
