Nice review. Very spot on.

I enjoyed the film, but it definitely is an acquired taste. I watched it at 4:00 in the morning after being up all night. I figured I'd watch the first scene, then the theme song hit and I decided to grab a bag of popcorn. I'd like to think that was the only way to enjoy the film properly.

I dance by the light of the TV screen, all night long... I watch producer's eyes turn green, but my reflection I've never seen.

Thanks for reading - and I agree, this is definitely one of those "watch in the wee hours" movies.

Very nice review of the Blu-Ray double feature. That behind the scenes look at TerrorVision sounds like it could potentially be a very entertaining bonus feature. Also, clicking on some of the thumbnails, I find it interesting that the back of the original VHS release echoed the narration from the film's trailer. The lines "this creature will eat anything, well just about anything" and "Now it's up to the kids to break the creature of its bad habits, but he's not responding well to discipline" were meant to directly tie in with the scenes being shown in the background and don't work as well without the context.

It's really cool that the review would include those images though. I thought that was a really nice touch.

Thanks for the kind words. I'll be covering Scream Factory's PRISON special edition during the coming week.
