Ah, the address was wrong. It's 1357. And yep, there it is.

You know, I've only seen Madman a couple times. Once in the 90s and once here in a group session. it's on youtube. I think it's time for a rewatch.

The screening was bitchin. The crowd was perfect, cheered and hollered, laughed their asses off at the hot tub scene. All while Madman was down the aisle, one row above me. Very cool. When I met him he was very grateful for every fan. Genuine dude.

Screamers is basically a fish monster/007 movie hybrid, at least it feels that way.

Now watch the remake with Naomi Watts.

Since I have limited time, I've only seen Prey(the 2019 film) so far. Very predictable with a dumbass ending. Not total garbage, but easily forgettable.
I've been trying to watch that one, but it keeps loading on me and I end up watching something else in it's place.

That's awesome. You always hope that's how they'd be in real life. lots of assholes out there so you never know.

After trying to filter more of my Amazon list, I selected Dead of Night next.

Weird, how it's got a 2009 date, but totally looks late 70's.

IMDB says 1977. And it's a TV movie. Oh well, I'll still give it a go, but getting annoying with all the funky dates.

And now I'm at Haddonfield High School. Lol. The exterior shot are all within like a mile of each other. From here gonna park the car in the neighborhood and walk around to see the Hardware store Michael robbed, the Myers house, Lynda's house, Annie's house, the hedge Michael hides behind and Laurie's house.

Sure hope the other two stories are better, that first was a weak time travel piece that was like the Spielberg installment of The Twilight Zone. No horror at all, just strange occurances.

Amazon is really really bad with years. I am crazy good at getting within a year when guessing when movies came out. It's a totally weird talent I have. Amazon drives me crazy getting that shit wrong. Sometimes I wonder if maybe they go with a recent Blu Ray or DVD release year?

I do think that's what it is. Confuses me with album release dates too, when really they're listing that particular release.

Got home a few minutes ago. Beautiful vinyl. Of course I played "I Don't Need Words" first. Gotta hear the Madman theme now.
