wrong year

why does it seem like things on imdb have the wrong year on them? this movie for example says it was made in 94, that is the year i got my drivers license, and either my purple or brown belt in american shotokan, and this movie was aired a couple years before that, i remember that because i couldnt drive at the time and had one of my rounds of leg pain, which i didnt get when i had my license, i remember being at an earlier rank when it was aired on fox. this couldnt have been made in the year it says, i know i can be hard to understand at times, but items in my past dont match up with the date they claim, and for those that might have seen at the same time, i am guessing it doesnt match for you either

It was definitely 1994. "Batman: The Animated Series" premiered in September 1992, and I remember being excited that this movie would finally give me a chance to see the man behind the voice, Kevin Conroy. By that time, "Batman" had already been on the air for a couple years. Also, it didn't air on Fox, but rather the Prime Time Entertainment Network.

im gonna have to disagree with you, and when i saw it did air of fox, that doesnt mean it didnt air on pten, i just remember it being on fox, maybe it was 93 but not 94, 94 might have just been the year you watched it,

True, maybe it did air on Fox at some point as a rerun, but it was an original production for PTEN and that's where it premiered. I have it somewhere recorded on VHS and I'm sure the year of copyright is at the end, but I'd have to dig around to find it. But considering the fact that every place I've ever seen this movie listed has it pegged as 1994, I'm pretty sure that's when it was. I specifically remember watching the "Broadcast Premiere," though, and when it was repeated a couple weeks later is when I recorded it.

IMDb even shows the copyright info under Box Office/Business as "© 1994 PTN Consortium, a division of Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P." and March 2, 1994 as the release (read: premiere) date. That sounds about right.

if you can find it sometime, id be interested in seeing a snapshot, im not the type that tries to claim to always be right and i could be mistaken, but my memory seems to be that it was before 94. as for the copyright stuff, well i heard that imdb can be off on things, no place is perfect.

The year is definitely wrong. I saw this when I was in high school, I was out of high school by a couple of years by 94 so this is wrong.

I thought it might be wrong too. I graduated in 95 and I could have sworn I watched it before I was in HS.

Because you can't have a scary movie if you leave the shower curtain open! 
