Viewing Notes

This was my next film at The Massacre and Jack Hill was there to introduce and to a Q&A afterward. Was super excited to see this on the big screen having seen it in recent years on TV. Such a fun movie and better with a crowd. Carol Ohmart is quite something. Love the Wolfman joke with Chaney.
