Synopsis:
I wanted to make an edit similar in style to how television stations (US) would present horror/sci-fi movies back in the 1970?s to early 80?s. This is mainly for the older crowd who can recall the days of Chiller Theater and other tv horror movie hosted shows that have truly disappeared off the airwaves.

Change List:
- edited JC's the thing down to 72 mins and made it black and white (altered the film a bit as well) - Zoomed in on the widescreen picture to make a new pan/scan image - added lots of film grain and other such noise to give it that old shitty print look. - added “old scratchy record” effects to the sound to give it that feeling of a rotting 16mm film - Added Channel 7 ABC’s Saturday night movie intro (early 80?s) - added in four 1-3 min commercial sets from 1981 - added in WOR-TV chan 9 “fright night” cut aways before and after each commercial break - borrowed RKO logo and minor music from the 1933 King kong for help wih my titles - Edited the movie for gore/cursing, or anything else that would not fly on tv back then edited and changed the ending to strongly resemble a 1950?s sci-fi film send-off.
