Viewing Notes

Happy to see this big again! The restored DCP looked incredible probably the best I’ve seen this movie. I think this is the largest turnout I’ve seen for a Nick D Show screening. Nearly every seat was taken by the time I arrived. Good discussion before and after the movie about the film and John Carpenter. Such a great movie to see on the big screen with a good crowd.
