I was just thinking about this movie yesterday! If this trend continues, you'll be posting Closet Land tomorrow and I'll still have one more wish! So I guess world peace on the 25th.
The only reason I remember this movie from my childhood is because the rental store VHS box had a button on it that, when pressed, exclaimed "WANT A DATE!?" in a terrible robot voice New Jersey accent.
John Zacherle is in this. I had a terrifying realization of the depth of my geekiness when I recognized him-- even though I had never seen his show. I'd only seen photos of him and heard "Dinner With Drac" on Dr. Demento.
