I'm wondering if that was a retitling of THINGS TO COME during one of its releases(since the way John described MARS,it sounds just like the same exact film as THINGS).Steven Millanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01153637815591803117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213270.post-70410893454516994742014-08-12T14:03:03.728-04:002014-08-12T14:03:03.728-04:00Sad to hear of Gidney's passing so long ago an...Sad to hear of Gidney's passing so long ago and I hadn't known until now. His friends called him Thumper, he told me it was because he played drums. I met him while he was editing "shape..." in 76. I didn't meet the mummy, but he described it as a funeral home worker who had no family and let the director experiment with a new embalming method on his corpse -- so the mummy was a dessicated corpse, not a mummy wrapped Egyptian style.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213270.post-21080767348917146132013-09-16T10:02:02.014-04:002013-09-16T10:02:02.014-04:00i posted here a in 2009 and was looking for the th...i posted here a in 2009 and was looking for the things to come film. I finally found it and saw it in Austin Texas. If you are loooking for these old Gidney Talley films i would contact The Alamo drafthouse. The have a Film archive were they try hold on and preserve old films. This is how i found the one I was looking for. We had to rent out the theater and pay for private showing but it was a blast. So anyone looking for these films, it's good place to start.<br />sincerely<br />erich nordlohUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507776574760505985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213270.post-13600955605124378132013-09-15T19:23:50.433-04:002013-09-15T19:23:50.433-04:00Dear Dale,

Mother is still with us, and her one request as she nears the end of her life is that we find a copy of "Bob & Sally" for her to see and to share with her family. This is heartbreaking, as I have searched through innumerable sources and, although people have paraphernalia and there are extensive catalog listings of the film, etc., it is considered to be lost. A youtube.com trailer is all we have found of the film. My niece recently found this blog post, and although I'm afraid to get my hopes up too high, I am wondering if you have a copy of this film in your family archives. If so, please contact me as soon as possible so we can discuss how procuring a copy can be arranged.

The funny thing is I'm only now finding out about a lot of this stuff. Seriously, I only found out about the whole "forty thieves" thing after a friend of mine read about it in a book and said, "Wasn't that your grandfather's name?"<br /><br />Thanks for making this post. I pretty much crave any stories I can get about my dad. I'm still not sure how I can carry on his legacy of awesomeness but I'll think of something.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213270.post-51107389592240752542011-02-04T16:07:35.760-05:002011-02-04T16:07:35.760-05:00Great post!

Your post is about all I could come up with. I can't find a copy of the movie anywhere, let alone much information.<br /><br />I live in Canada, and funnily enough, certain words on the poster were censored for it's Canadian release. Words were either blacked out, or with stickers with 'less offensive' terms written over them in ball point pen! I always wondered what was written underneath, and now I know. I guess the film was distributed in Canada.Mike H.https://twitter.com/MajorLeadSingernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29213270.post-20102722706355374022010-03-21T16:09:18.494-04:002010-03-21T16:09:18.494-04:00LOL this is crazy Gidney Talley Jr is my Uncle Dal...LOL this is crazy Gidney Talley Jr is my Uncle Dale my Aunt..

PRINCE OF PEACE was acquired by a Tennessee businessman who also now owns FIREBALL JUNGLE and DEVIL RIDER. Wonder what the story with STORY OF BOB AND SALLY is? That film and MOM AND DAD are the vintage exploitation films that for some reason aren't readily available. Are they owned by a major studio?Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195073158983528498noreply@blogger.com
