    John,

    The answer to the cave question is Equinox. That was Bronson Cave I believe, used as a location for many horror films, including It Conquored the World. Do you know about the original version of Equinox? (this was not the version that was released by Jack H. Harris that included added material of an absurd character named Asmodeous and also added some bad dialog...it was originally a very intelligent, well-written, and terrifying student horror film made by college geniuses Dennis Muren, David Allen, Jim Danforth (not in college {actually already established as a fine effects man receiving an oscar nomination for 7 Faces of Dr. Lao}, but he was good friends with the others), and several others who poured their hearts into the production...Harris bought it from Muren, hired the same actors he used to film new, absurd scenes, changed and altered Muren's storyline and ending so things make very little sense and Harris replaced the original score with mostly Dominic Frontiere stock music...it's very different from the original offering, which I highly recommend as it is one of my favorite horror films)?

    I think 1 is B. 5 is a. I have never seen this film in it's entirety, but I should check it out sometime. Looks like good fun.

    Dylan, very interesting info on Equinox. Thanks. I have only seen the hoaky one. Parts of it twice. Recognized the cave right off. Yes, you are right, its used in many films.

    Bubbles coming out of cave is right too.

    Graham you got the star right. Its Nader and yes Elmer did it. Good. You guys did great. A++++++++.

    J.
