" Even as a young kid, I always had a more discerning taste for films than most other horror fans. Therefore, it wasn't easy growing up during the 70s and early 80s and the way film producers handled the genre at the time.

"The monster looked okay when it was a pile of bodies together, or maybe not... It was really hard to tell with the editing. Some good body horror moments were the highlight of the film. "
