Trivia: THE CLONUS HORROR had a budget of $350,000, a then modest amount for a major film release, but huge in comparison to most other MSTed movies.

Born in 1933, actor DICK SARGENT is best known for his 1969-1972 role as the second Darrin Stephens on TV's Bewitched, starring Elizabeth Montgomery. (He replaced the actor Dick York, who had the role from 1964-1969 and who had to retire from acting because of severe back pain). In addition to a couple other minor TV series and many guest appearances, Sargent made these films: 1957-Bernadine; 1959-Operation Petticoat; 1961-The Great Imposter (starring Tony Curtis); 1962-That Touch of Mink (with Doris Day and Cary Grant); 1964-Captain Newman, M.D. (with Gregory Peck); 1966-The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (starring Don Knotts); 1968-The Young Runaways; 1979-Hardcore (with George C. Scott); and 1989-Teen Witch. A few years ago, Sargent publicly declared his homosexuality on National Coming Out Day, one of the few male Hollywood celebrities to do so, albeit late in his career.
