How did they cut it...

...down to fit a 90-minute time slot when the run time is already 88 minutes? This happened when the movie aired on A&E years ago (early '90s).

All I caught was the last 20 minutes and not much seemed to be cut from that. Does anyone remember catching this on A&E and know what they cut out?? I was just curious.

I remember the part when the girl is shot with the arrow at the carnival was completley removed. I also remember many segments of characters talking and hanging out at the carnival getting lifted as well. Some scenes were also shown out of order. The A&E cut ran 71 minutes without commercial breaks.

Thank you!! I wish A&E still played slasher flicks like they used to!!

They ran some odd ones. I remember Death Valley showing up on there.

It's still hard to believe a channel that seems bent on showing quality would air bad b films like this.I notice they don't do it at all these days.
