Oh, all right. I have been holding out. It's more a psychological thriller that
flat out horror film (I just watched it for the first time in how many years,
last week), but it is horrifying: Has anyone out there seen "SSSSSSS"? Makes
"Snakes on a Plane" look like a pre-school romper room. Strother Martin (in the
role of Dr. Stoner) and the fetching Dirk Benedict are quite game in this,
another personality shaper of mine, from the early '70s.
Eileen, I wish I knew the name of the film, sounds just awful, but reminds me
of how "Jaws" and "Rollercoaster" respectively ruined family trips to Florida
beaches and Cedar Point Amusement Park in Ohio. And I will never forgive my
mother for dragging me to Gloucester when I wanted to stay home so I could see
the Stones. Childhood's a wicked thing, hahaha.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
