Chris,
Thanks for your reply and excellent advice!
I didn't see this film in theaters but am a sci-fi horror junkie and am probably the last generation (just turned 51) to remember independent cable television before infomercials ruined the era. I remember thumbing through the newspaper TV schedule looking for anything that sounded good on late night Fridays and Saturdays, not mention the weekend afternoon schedule and the Sunday Tarzan movies. And, as I mentioned, my introduction into film were the old Ken Films digests that were sold in Creepy Magazine. To this day, no matter how nice digital looks, there is just something about spooling up a film and seeing it on a screen that can't be matched. In my teens I remember subscribing to the Big Reel and looking at all the great ads.
I discovered "Fiend Without A Face" in my never ending search for movies that actually entertain in this era of torture porn and CGI garbage. My problem is that I am running out of films to see (at least on DVD and VHS)! I had the digest of "It Came From Outer Space" and, of course, have seen the entire film and all the others from the silents to the 80s. So, when I saw a chance to buy Fiend I snatched it up. But, as much as I'd like to, it just isn't within my budget to collect films. There are simply too many people with larger bank accounts than I have that think the same way! But, I'm just happy that there IS a community of folks who appreciate the medium!
So, thanks again for welcoming me to the board. Regardless of what I have or anyone else has it is really cool reading posts and hearing about these titles on film. I was concerned about my splicing but I think I'll drag out the screen and watch it a few more times before I let it go. When I do I'll post a link here and post up some screen pics. Whatever it sells for I'll know that someone else is enjoying it as much as I have and the person I bought it from.
Best to all! Paul.
