I remember watching this on the afternoon movie when I was around 11 or 12. That would have put it around '71 or '72. It was a really old movie then, but geez it was creepy. It did have some funny parts, but that TV walking around zapping people was just plain weird. Later in life the creepy TV was replaced by that Zuni fetish doll from Trilogy of Terror with Karen Black as the thing that scared the poop out of me, but up until that, the walking TV was at the top of the "creep scale". At this point in life I figure the creature from "Alien" has taken over the "things I don't want to find in the closet" category. Though I can't imagine it selling well, I'd love to see an "Alien vs. Twonky" feature film come out. It probably doesn't help the odds that no one I've ever talked to has even heard of the Twonky. Wonder what the odds are of finding a copy on e-bay or something?
