Wow, is that possible? Haha. I'm not sure about Russo. I remember when the 30th(?) anniversary edition of the dvd came out and I bought it, one of the first dvd collector's editions I ever bought, and I was excited because before I had only been able to watch the film on an old vhs recording complete with commercials.
Russo really messed that up with his added scenes and new soundtrack. It was awful. There was something where you could watch the original version on the disc I think, but something wasn't quite original there I think. I don't remember. I threw the thing away when the millennium edition came out.
I just finished reading Those Across the River...a period piece with werewolves. It didn't really work for me. I feel like the author was trying to elevate the horror genre by writing like literary fiction type authors, especially those from the south. I really want a good werewolf book, but I'm having a hard time finding one. Any recommendations?
