Dr. Kildare, Dark Shadows, Stargate: Atlantis, Conan, Planet of the Apes, Ocampa, The Visitor, American Dad!, The Alien Within, Howard the Duck.

Two movies I grew up with were released on this date but I think the favorite is of course Howard the Duck only because of the comic book that I read so many times before the movie was ever offered.


Enjoy !!!
