Viewing Notes

I needed to wash the taste of that abysmal Cubs playoff game out of my brain. I watched the uncut version (not full matte). Based on what I’ve read of the cuts, this was the right choice.

I… kind of like this one a little better than TALES FROM THE CRYPT, but I seem to be in the minority there. This one leans into the horror a little more.
