Not sure if slasher fans woul want to read about Hellraiser though, see that they say first. Thanks!

and I’ll let you share with your readers what the actual take was for the filmmakers – an amount I greatly overestimated above.

I would love to see some on the series of Hellraisers, Psychos, or Phantasms.

I’ve read that he got screwed over with royalties. Currently researching the second movie for the next article so was just reading about that. Thanks!

I have a Cinefantastique Mag detailing the Mob connection and all the money Hooper et al, DIDN’T get a piece of… if memory serves, I think the filmmakers take was something like $75, 000.

I’ll scan the articles for you if you’d like?

I have similar recollections with horror movies. I spent a weekend in the hills in the middle of nowhere when I was eight or nine and saw Friday the 13th Part 6: Jason Lives and A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge. Because of that experience I guess they still stand as my favourite of each respective series.

that’s brilliant. And so true. I’m a big fan of cool titles and taglines.

I shit you not, I watched TCM when I was four. Alone. Upstairs at my uncles house in a different town than my own while my parents got drunk and smoked hash in the rec room.

It’s my second favourite story to tell. The first being the time Shania Twain taught me how to french kiss. Her name was Elaine back then.

But that second story of course is a lie.
