HAPPY HALLOWEEN, HOMIES!!

Today JB and I were at Scare Faire in Victorville early in the day, then we drove to Redlands to host a screening of The Funhouse. I love this movie, and I love that we got to go into a Tobe Hooper deep dive after the show. It was fun to rewatch this cl-ass-sick with a group, but I did notice that Joe Bob’s breast count was off. I brought up this important subject, which lead to a discussion about whether the dancing ladies With pasties should count. I say “no!!”, but wanna hear where you stand on this important issue. 😉

Here are those time codes for ya:
