I hear Linda Blair is the nicest person until Exorcist II comes up.

Regarding Monster Shark, do you know why it was shot down? Was it a matter of rights or elements?

A matter of rights - I think William Olson at Code Red mentioned the owners or something.. I know it wasnt film element related

My Order of Sleepaway Camp and Motel Hell arrived today along with my Magnet sheet. Both films were shrink wrapped with the Slip Covers so I was happy about that, and the Magnet sheet itself was nearly a 9x11 size sheet. Much larger then I was expecting. I also found it neat that the disk art is different for the DVD & Blu Ray on the Motel Hell release. The DVD has the newly commissioned art, while the Blu Ray uses the classic poster art. I thought that was a great touch and one I'd like to see continue for future combo packs.

I love me some nature-horror so I'll be sure to check out all of these titles at some point!

Connolly's spoken favourably about Phenomena in interviews, some fairly recently - one German one comes to mind where she spoke about how she was so eager to do it she forced her parents to allow her to be in it and about how much she liked Argento. But considering the horrendous time she had on Labryrinth and nearly losing a finger to a chimp on Phenomena, it's not exactly surprising that she didn't do interviews specifically for the DVDs/Blurays.

Reading this comment kinda makes me wish someone would go in and edit that creepy Matthew Mcounahay (sp) Lincoln commercial where he talks about being able to go back where you came from and edit it together with the completely over the top screaming moments from Texas Chainsaw The Next Generation.

It'd be comedy gold!

I seem to remember a post here on this forum from someone who met Holly Hunter in person a few years ago, and received a muted reaction from her when he mentioned The Burning. That's pretty funny.

Do you all respond happily when someone asks you about some terrible job you worked some summer back in high school? Why should actors have to be happy about everything they've ever done?

If someone was a real genuine fan of something I had done at that terrible job, I wouldn't treat them like something I found under a rock for asking. I tend to be nice to the people who appreciate my work, even if I didn't enjoy the process.

Bacon did do this commercial where he reprises his character from Friday the 13th.

Some of the best stories come from working terrible jobs.

She is great in many sub-par movies. Like Summer of Fear...

Kevin Bacon's fine with Friday The 13th. He did an interview on Conan where he talked about it.

Bacon said in several interviews he was proud to begin his career in a franchise that became so successful over the years and that doesn't happen to a lot of actors.
Your sources are wrong.

Horrendous time in Labyrinth? Never heard that one before. What happened?

Leno as well, which was even included in the Crystal Lake to Manhattan doc.

Seriously, Roller Boogie, Repossessed, Savage Streets, Night Patrol (a guilty pleasure), all starring Blair. But she gets upset to talk about Exorcist II?
