Viewing Notes

Stuart and Barbara introduced the film which I still had not watched despite owning it on DVD. Castle Freak (1995) was received well by the horror crowd on hand as it should. Really good film with some excellent character moments by Combs. I even asked a question afterward about the long bar sequence that Combs seemed to be improvising. Barbara agreed with me that it is an amazing scene! (She rocks!)

Note: I really wonder if we did in fact have a 35mm print of this. This went direct to video so maybe they did strike a few prints and Charles Band has them? It was his event after all.
