And let's not forget the Frankenstein Monster in "Frankenstein Meets
The Wolf Man," and Dracula in "Dracula Has Risen From the Grave."

And remember that TV dinners were around long before POTA.

It was used in the episode "Space Seed" in Star Trek, and of course in
2001: A Space Oddesy

Good question
i'm not sure if the concept ever happened in
Star Trek or Doctor Who or Lost In Space back in the 60s
 
It would seem to me that maybe that was the only way they could
comprehend a way for humans to make a long journey - not sure what
other options there could be
 
An off-topic question would be what else did POTA do that was
innovative for a sci-fi movie that had not been done with other 60s
sci-fi films?
 
I think we should work on a 60's index of sci-fi movies
 
 
 


POTA and 2001 came out at about the same time, and both relied upon the
technique of deep sleep to accomplish long
space travels. I saw them
both at a drive-in back then. I can't remember films using hibernation
before that, but then, I was about 8 years old. Does anyone know when
hibernation debuted as a sci-fi film phenomenon?
