They Live & Immortal Combat with Special Guest Roddy Piper (Air Date 8/8/98)

It’s still Splatterday night in El Lay, right? When you’re at a con time no longer has meaning… 😋

I fell asleep in the midst of posting this earlier (right after watching AEW with JB which, lemme tell ya, was quite the treat! 😋), but better a wee late than never, right? 😉

This is one of my all-time favorite Monstervision eps (and quite possibly my absolute favorite!) It’s pretty readily available online but I have to think there’s still some of you who haven’t gotten to see it yet. And even if you have seen it a bunch (like me 😋), the quality of this version is just so great, it’s definitely worth rewatching these icons together in their newly restored glory. (I’m thinking this might be a candidate for Vol 3 of the Blu Ray?) 

Hope you’re having a wonderful “Almost Halloween” weekend. I’ll see some of you tomorrow for Day 3 of Monster Mania, and hopefully even more of you tomorrow night during our Discord watchalong.

Sending a whole heap o’love uour way, as always…Have fun tearing the 🖤out of what’s left of Splatterday Night, Patreon pals! 😉 🖤🖤🖤
