James Arness Dies at 88

It was 1950s science fiction/horror that began my lifelong interest in the fantastic and horrific. Two of my favorite films from that decade are The Thing from Another World (1951) and Them! (1954). Actor James Arness starred in both of these films, as the creature of the title in the first film, and as an Army soldier fighting giant ants in the latter. Mr. Arness passed away today in Brentwood, California at the age of 88. A story and obituary can be found here.
