• Oh, Eric Freeman. OH, ERIC FREEMAN. You four voters for Silent Night, Deadly Night 2 know what's what!
• I did not know that Robert Rodriguez directed The Faculty. Huh. It is a day of learning.
• Maniac is so good and sooooo sleazy. Fangoria had the big scalping scene all laid out in a pictorial- in glorious black & white!- back in the day. Like Texas Chain Saw Massacre, the film's mind-melting reputation preceded it.
