I remember seeing The Outing for the first time on there (OK, it's no Let's Scare Jessica to Death, but I still love it!) and a lot of the gore remained intact. It was quite the night for me. <BR/><BR/>Being the uber-nerdy-wallflower I was (OK, still am!), it's not like I had anywhere to be on Saturdays and this was a great alternative for me.<BR/><BR/>I too miss the days of discovery and of course, the hunt. I remember I looked everywhere for Schitzoid (seriously!), even making sure to hit all the mom and pop stores of whatever towns I visited in the hopes someone was selling it and didn't realize what a treasure they had. I KNOW! Told you I was a nerd!Amanda By Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910620012465381103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-32473506031779301852008-08-15T07:23:00.000-07:002008-08-15T07:23:00.000-07:00Yeah, there's something about those days where eve...Yeah, there's something about those days where everything wasn't immediately accessible. You had to really work to find the movies you wanted to see and hope for lots of lucky breaks.Jeff Allardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04265550466781988388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964885632131848660.post-70819421219449026802008-08-14T19:14:00.000-07:002008-08-14T19:14:00.000-07:00I know what you mean about the excitement of the d...I know what you mean about the excitement of the days when we had to search out horror films on TV vs. our modern ability to see pretty much whatever/whenever (reminds me of Daniel Stern talking about his post marriage sex life in 'Diner').<BR/><BR/>For me it was the old 'Fright Night' shows... usually on a Friday... with some sort of horror host.<BR/>Like you say, it didn't matter much what they were showing... it was just great to have that reliable horror show each week.Timmy Crabcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14737954661234574830noreply@blogger.com
