Ok, I love the crappy quality effect that was done to the film (pan & scan + print damage). I turned down the lights and watching this I felt like it was 30 years ago and I was a kid again staying up to watch something I wasn’t allowed to see. The only difference is it wasn’t 3 in the morning because I had work the next day. I enjoyed the way the editor cut out the bad words and gore and it reminded me of many films I watched that were butchered when they aired on tv during prime time. When I would watch movies like RABID or SHIVERS at 3 in the morning, they would be complete. I’m in Canada and I don’t remember chiller theatre since maybe it wasn’t broadcast in my neck of the woods but I can still appreciate what the editor set out to do and I think he did a great job. Watching all those old commercials was also a riot. It was great to see one of my favorite films in a different light & b&w worked really well for this classic. Great job!
