Viewing Notes

13th feature film at the TR horror movie marathon and one I’ve seen before and should’ve guessed correctly but didn’t guess at all bc I ran out of time.

7:25 a.m.
Hint: Fantasy/horror from one of the true titans of horror cinema

I dozed off during the finale of MESSIAH OF EVIL and slept thru GOLDEN BAT (another one I shoulda guess based on this clue: “Fun superhero monster movie co-starring an iconic action superstar”) but was glad it was GOLDEN BAT since I own that movie and have seen it. So I woke up as this movie was getting going and it’s kinda the perfect Sunday morning fantasy flick.
