Viewing Notes

5th feature film at the Music Box Massacre 7 and one perfect for this format, i.e. a questionable 35mm print on the big screen. It’s all in the theatrics. And overdone to the point of hilarity. Also awesome that Herschell Gordon Lewis was there to provide a Q&A and discuss the film. He really defined that schlock horror of the 60s/70s. Great to see the film and him.
