Viewing Notes

4th film at the Music Box Massacre 7 and one that all of us had seen before but it was super great to see on the big screen in 35mm! I already liked the film but really came to love this time around. It’s so weird and wonderful. One of my favorite Vincent Price roles. The kills are just so crazy and inventive.

I kinda love that Caroline Munro is simply a corpse in this film. Didn’t realize that upon my first viewing but totally identified her immediately this go round.
