Hey there, old friends!


I've finally decided to sign up, after taking a stand against losing our board. I hope some of the old 'Lot heads return and keep this great film alive.

want to make sure my old friends see this post, hope to hear from many of y'all.

It was a miniseries, not a film.

reply

It was also a 2-hr condensed film, but it's well below par compared to the series.

reply

The best version ever, 1979 miniseries

reply

Much better than the condensed version, totally agree.

I have the blu-ray, and we have a Halloween event where we all watch as characters from the series. HUGE 75 inch HD TV. Its awesome.

reply

How do you watch as Mike Ryerson?

reply

Last year I was Mark Petrie, year before that Danny Glick. This year dunno yet. Maybe Larry Crockett

reply

How do you "become" them? I like the idea, but you'd probably need a bowl haircut to be Mike/Mark.

reply

Actually, its more dialogue, when the character appears on screen, you speak their dialogue, yeah I know, kinda weird.

reply

Can I come over for this… I’ll bring food.

reply

Sure, bring the punch. Make sure its nice and bloody (with floating eyeballs).

reply

Absolutely! Extra blood and eyeballs it is!!
I wish I lived around ppl that would like to do this. Instead, I’m in a remote village in England, lol..
