In Response To: 35mm Horror Classics in a Movie Palace! (Bob Furmanek)

There are some updates for this weekends Loew's Jersey Horror Spooktacular.

The print of KING KONG arrived yesterday, and it is absolutely stunning. Great quality and beautiful black and white printing. With the exception of occasional scratches, the deleted scenes are inserted flawlessly. I've never seen the film look this good!

Unfortunately, Warner Bros. advised us yesterday afternoon that the print of FRAIDY CAT will not be available. Apparently, someone at the studio has determined that this classic Tom and Jerry cartoon is not politically correct. In its place on Friday, we will screen Daffy Duck in THE GREAT PIGGY BANK ROBBERY. My apologies for this last minute change.

Our usual level of showmanship will be somewhat compromised this weekend. The grand curtain in front of the screen has developed a problem on its track, and has begun to tear. In order to avoid further damage, we will not be able to utilize the curtain this weekend. It's very frustrating to not have it operational. Until we can raise the necessary funds to perform the repairs to the track, I'm sorry to say that the curtain will have to remain open.

Some true Friends of the Loew's have gone to bat in helping with material this weekend, and I'd like to thank them. Pete Apruzzese, Brian Bavosa, Bill Duelly, Mitchell Dvoskin and Ray Faiola have allowed us to display some unique, original memorabilia from their collections. Special thanks to Sabucat Productions and Jeff Joseph for loaning some rare 35mm trailers from their vast trailer archive. Thanks to all of you for your help!
