ENSLAVED BY A GIANT GORILLA ON HER WEDDING NIGHT!

ORIGINALLY POSTED 9-2-2008

DON'T TELL WHAT HAPPENS TO THE BRIDE

Oh the mind shudders at what the ad implies - I'm thinking banana pancakes and a good combing.
The print ad recently sold on Ebay and features a great Double Beast bill though I have never heard of the second flick. It is also a great reminder that local theatres could turn these turkeys into an EVENT with some clever promotion and the promise to see the 'Beast' in person. It is entirely conceivable that Steve Calvert may have actually turned out to grunt and swat at the patrons before the curtains parted.
I know the sound and picture quality of modern movie houses must put those of 40 plus years ago to shame but they will never be capable of duplicating the creativity and ballyhoo of that lost age.
