This year is the 35th anniversary to a Sci-fi horror classic and Carpenters finest movie next to Halloween! Russell and the cast shine here and it did bad at the box-office due to bad timing against ET and should had opened in September which would had done better in theaters and became a cult classic and one of the greatest Sci-fi and horror films ever.

It is a cult classic. Actually, I think today it is considered just a plain classic. Another thing that hurt the box office was that the critics tore this movie apart because of all the "gore".
Just one of the many reasons I stopped listening to the "professional critics" a long time ago. They were so wrong about this movie.

I could kick myself I never saw it in a theater. I think it wasn't playing in my town.
I remember reading about it in Famous Monsters.
Most cherished on beta and vhs.
The beta version was better.
