In reply to the discussion: Actor Donald Sutherland has died. [View all]Probatim
(3,040 posts)61. We grew up watching Chiller Theater with Bill Cardille (in the Pittsburgh area).
My younger brother would be scared shitless for most of the movies. Our younger sister was fearless and would try to scare him during the movies. I was somewhere the middle.
We watched the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers on a Saturday night and the later version probably on prime time TV. Both were creepy as hell.
The movie that scared me the most on Chiller Theater was The Flesh Eaters. To this day, I get a little squirrely when something brushes against me in the water - maybe a bit more than squirrely when it's murky water.

My childhood fear. After that movie, I never watch tv with my feet on the floor.

An actor that really could play a character well by going over the top where no other actor would dare go.

The movie wouldn't make it by the censors today but it was great for the time.

Just saw his son's tweet and was going to post it. Such sad news. He was a great actor.

The last movie I saw him in was Moonfall, a great movie; he played a secret keeper for NASA.

He was in it because it is so amazing & plausible that I've never looked at the moon the same way since.

He had so many great roles true, but he'll always be Hawkeye Pierce to me.

So very sad to hear the news! I recently saw him in "The Leisure Seekers" (2017) with Helen Mirren. It was brilliant.
