Double features
In B Movies last post by joem18b
"I've only been to one or two double features in my life, but they were both great experiences. Even though Kill Bill Vol. 1 was preceded by Payback instead of the original Point Blank! Even though the movies at the drive-in were S.W.A. ... [More] "

In Serialicious last post by leeroy711
"Some of the scariest, and funniest, movies featuring serial killers have been those located in the "normal" surroundings of suburbia. Here's my tentative list: 1.) Scream - Butchering buxom high-schoolers for their lack of knowledge of ... [More] "
