If you thought 3D was a new craze after films such as “Spy Kids 3D: Game Over”, “Piranha 3D” and every new blockbuster that seems to demand that you wear stupid glasses, you were wrong.

This is not a new thing. Back in the 80s we got films such as “Amityville 3D”, “Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare” and “Friday The 13th Part III”, all of which got released in 3D. However, the trend goes back further than the 80s, back in the 50s films such as “The Creature From The Black Lagoon”, “It Came From Outer Space”, “Robot Monster” and “House Of Wax” were all originally released in 3D. How magnificent would it have been to watch “The Creature From The Black Lagoon” in 3D back in the theatre in 50s?

This gimmick is unlikely to stay truly dead with it seeming to be brought back every now and then because there is a sucker born every minute and that sucker will look even more ridiculous in 3D glasses.
