What were the "B" Sci fi movies everyone was recommending? I was looking for the one, "If I had a mouth I would scream." Is that the right title?

I have read excerpts of that IHNM&IMS. Wow. That writer can write.

(9,077 posts)If you can find it, a short story, read "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman":
"'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman" is a short story by science fiction writer Harlan Ellison. It is nonlinear in that the narrative begins in the middle, then moves to the beginning, then the end, without the use of flashbacks. First appearing in the science fiction magazine Galaxy in December 1965, it won the 1966 Hugo Award for best short story, and the 1965 Nebula Award. The story is one of the most reprinted short stories in the English language and has been translated into numerous foreign languages. "Repent..." was written in 1965 in a single six-hour session as a submission to a Milford Writer's Workshop the following day. A version of the story, read by Harlan Ellison, was recorded and issued on vinyl, but has long been out of print. It was since published in All the Sounds of Fear, an anthology of Ellison's short stories.
Stylistically, the story is remarkable for purposely ignoring many "rules of good writing", including a paragraph about jelly beans which is almost entirely one run-on sentence.
