Viewing Notes

Programming this for The Last Drive-in is certainly one way to get me to watch it again. Not a comfort food horror movie for me but I can understand why JBB would select it for Grilled Cheese Day. Baffled how this went over the head of so many of his followers that kept guessing “food” horror movies.

I wonder if any of those “I ::heart:: monster” shirts survived. Would be easy to replicate and sell. Joe Bob mentioned Marisa Tomei; she is the girl spraying on the deodorant in the locker room.

FTR, this should be on both the top cult movie and horror movie lists for its place in history (it’s on the 101 cults films list but not on the 101 horror films list).
