Viewing Notes

Jason found an old Indianapolis tv station broadcast from 1986 that was a horror host feature plus all the commercials. The host was “Sammy Terry” haha! The commercials were amusing and doing this type of thing in the watch party format was ideal. Otherwise I wouldn’t have bothered given that I own this on Blu and have seen it so many times. At least it was entertaining with the horror host and terrible commercials in addition to all the remarks in the live chat.
