Great commentary track with these 3..very entertaining, especially Fred. He seemed to enjoy winding up Hess especially.

LOL, Cool!

I have the movie and that documentary of the making of the movie with some of the cast.
It was years later, so they had aged a bit, but the reunions were great! Good stories!

reply

I have it too. That edition sure is awesome!

reply

It was fun to see them together again after a number of years... I liked the stories of how they came to be cast in the film.
I enjoyed seeing the stills of Wes Craven making the film. So young back then, but weren't we all?

reply

Of course we were. Heck, i was only two back when the movie came out.

reply

LOL! To be two again! Those were the days!

reply

LOL, Hell yea!! :-)

I recently noticed that David Hess died awhile ago; I met/recognized him when he was standing outside of a small horror-convention bookstore. I called him on the phone once, which I probably should not have done.

The one actress married Stephen Spielberg, not to shabby. She says (on imdb?) "the producer promised each one of us that he would take us somewhere" , "he took none of us anywhere".

I saw this when it first came out, when films like this had a chance of a major distribution,. and Roger Ebert's unique praise of the film has always intrigued me

Stephen Spielburg??? I had to look his spouses up. Sorry. He was married to Amy Irving, one child. They were divorced. He married Kate Capshaw. They are still married, five children.

The actress who played Sadie was once married to Richard Dreyfuss.
Dreyfuss did work with Spielburg.

I'm surprised that Ebert actually liked this film. On the other hand, this was not bad for a movie of this kind. They certainly didn't have a big budget, but Craven worked around that in innovative ways.

Sorry, I didn't remember correctly (got the 2 men confused). Jeremie Rain of Last House on the Left was married to Richard Dreyfuss. Roger Ebert is the only critic I know of who doesn't consider it garbage due to the visceral nature and it's ability to genuinely scare. He's critiquing the film on a different level.
