Sleestak: Then & Now...

We're now exactly four months away from the release of the Land Of The Lost movie!

I'm still sad the 90's remake was cancelled. And I'm even more traumatized that it hasn't been released on DVD yet. But hopefully, that'll change after the movie comes out and breaks box office records (in a good way).

Will Ferrell and Anna Friel are technically the stars of this new remake. But in reality, the Sleestak will be the true stars of the movie.

So how have the Sleestak evolved since the 70's? Let's see...

In 1974, the Sleestak were mostly green (except for Enik - always the outcast) and didn't like the light. They became less sensitive to light in the third season when the show changed dramatically. They remained terrifying throughout.

In 1991, the Sleestak were seen outside during the day quite frequently chasing the Porters around. Only three Sleestak appeared in this series (Shung, Nim, and Keeg). The best picture I could find is of Shung on one of the 90's video covers for this series.

Now for 2009, the new Sleestak (click on the picture for a preview of the movie)...
