Viewing Notes
After TRIPPIN’ was a grainy 35mm print of Katherine Bigelow’s Near Dark (1987). Despite some audio warbling in the beginning (projector was reset) this was excellent to see on the big screen. I own the Blu-Ray but nothing touches watching in a theater in 35mm w/a bunch of horror fans. So many great moments. Always find it amusing that Bill Paxton had a little mid-80s career going playing the same character.
Followed that with another cool short, Eel Girl (2008), that was deliciously creepy. Then another short after that, Don’t Lose Heart (2008), which was like a side scene from 28 Days Later. Great tone in that one.
