[UHF Nocturne]

Just got back from the Tuesday screenings. As a big fan of LAST MAN ON EARTH, I was thrilled to be able to see it in a theater. Considering the age and relatively obscure status of the film, it's surprising there's even a 35mm print around, much less one in as good shape. Interestingly, this print had the title THE DAMNED WALK AT MIDNIGHT. Seems this print has made the rounds lately, as googling that title returns a couple of web sites mentioning the film under that name.

TOMB OF LIGEIA also looked very good. If you are at all fond of either film, it's worth checking out on Wednesday!
