Trivia
Before the movie's official release, the film maker and producers attempted a "whisper campaign". Doing such things as leaving several VHS copies lying around a VHS convention in Pennsylvania, and throwing copies out of car windows while driving around Baltimore, in hopes of sparking conversation about the film.

Maybe Its Just Because I am a child of the eighties....

I can't believe more people aren't praising this film. Its great, silly fun, doesn't work as a horror film that well, but its still entertaining and even hilarious at times. The commercials....someone was complaining about the commercials, I guess you had to be around at that time in some podunk town to understand how brilliant of a recreation this is. Somebody knows that time really well. The music, even the fonts, were all ridiculously of their time. This is the kind of local programming that really doesn't exist much at all (if at all) anymore. I felt like i was watching Channel 36 from Atlanta waiting for "Movie Macabre" to come on. They could have amped up the scares a bit, made it really spooky, but i still think this is one of the more brilliant takes on the whole "found footage" bit. Certainly the most humorous. I have to think this film was loads of fun to make.
