Viewing Notes

Move 6 at the Box of Horrors. Really fun to see on the big screen with a big crowd. There’s a mild jump start in the finale and a girl behind me screamed so loud. Pretty great final girl non-slasher film. This was part of the Tobe Hooper tribute. Prior to this movie they presented a tribute video with interview excerpts and clips from all his films. Felt bad for the audience that hasn’t seen many of these because it was filled with spoilers including the best scenes and final scenes from his films. Ah well. Side note I was surprised that nearly half the audience clapped when asked who there had not seen The Funhouse. p cool way to experience it for the first time.
