Feeling like a time warp now, but oh so much fun and frights. Viewing this for the first time in 20 years really put a smile on my face, now I know that for after having just watched a horror film that may not be the best guideline you will ever read, but the film has it's tongue firmly in cheek and it doesn't come up short on the thrill factor.

But from a personal point of view I got such a kick out of watching a good honest genre piece that shows love, care, and entertainment rolled into one movie.

5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My personal favorite horror film of all time that has a favorite death scene of mine that compares to the one and only Wizard of Oz!!!
