Viewing Notes
Followed that with Joe Zito’s brilliant slasher The Prowler (1981). Agree w/several of my peers that this is an underrated film that suffers from its original poor distribution during the height of slasher films (it was overshadowed by all the other slasher flicks that received better theatrical runs). Has some great Tom Savini kills and a great location on the Jersey coast. The DVD commentary w/Zito & Savini is also a fun listen. The extras also include many of the original adverts. Great stuff to see.
