Viewing Notes

Part one of a double feature to start off the Scream Screen Larry Cohen tribute screenings at the Sie. The director and Cohen’s wife were supposed to be present for a Q&A but COVID, so they did taped messages to the audience.

Teresa also placed containers of The Stuff under 4 seats in the theater. Between movies I discovered one under my seat despite having looked earlier, so that was cool!

A pretty decent crowd with some definite characters in the audience.

Going in I wasn’t sure if I had watched the doc at Cinepocalypse or not but it didn’t take long for me to remember that I had. Still fun to revisit.
