Viewing Notes

Neat to see this on TCM Underground schedule. This is yet another movie that I’m shocked hasn’t been programmed at one of the horror movie marathons in Chicago. It’s so perfect for those given their penchant for 80s films. Plus it’s a Craven movie. The fact this hasn’t been programmed is indicative of how uninspired they’ve been over the years. Tonight being no exception (I left after Creepshow before TCM2).
