SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE FOR NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988)
This week we changed it up considerably because we attended a screening of Night of the Demons with Scream Queen Linnea Quigley attending in person! Whaaat?! How awesome is that?
She was kind, genuine, friendly, and super generous with her time and energy. (She autographed and did a receiving line for an entire theater full of people including signing two of my Japanese original Return of the Living Dead (1985) posters)!!!
Night of the Demons is a classic B horror movie of the 1980s for all of the best reasons.
