Viewing Notes

Kinda shocked I haven’t seen this until now. Only because I’ve been aware of this film since it graced the cover of Fangoria issue #9 back in the day (1980). That’s a lot of years to go with that image in my mind.

Fortunately it was running on MGMHD and being October and all, perfect timing. For the most part it lives up to what I imagined w/the blend of humor beats and horror. A little sleazier than I expected but overall a fun watch. And at least now I’ve seen it.
