Girls, I Have GOT To Warn You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                         As the phrase goes, darlings, this is epic.  Three weeks from Saturday, which would be May 16, The Sven Squad is hosting.  Nothing wrong with that, but what they are going to host is a screening of what many arguably consider the greatest horror film ever made--Roman Polanski's 1968 classic "Rosemary's Baby."

                                           "Svengoolie" was overreaching when he hosted "The Bad Seed."  To his credit, he began the show an hour earlier, so that the film would be shown in its entirety.  Good for him.  But his constant warning about how disturbing the film would be to sensitive viewers got to be annoying, because more sensitive viewers likely would not get all the cinematic qualities of "The Bad Seed," including its camp theatricality.  An "A" list film on "Svengoolie?"  It was a nice try, but it did not work.

                                                But turning The Sven Squad over to something as iconic as "Rosemary's Baby?"  This is a mistake, and a disaster in the making.  There are people out there, like me, who take this film seriously, and so the squad will show no respect for us.  Their jokes will be annoying, surrounding the film, and commercials will probably be inserted during or right before iconic moments.

                                                    Showing "Rosemary's Baby", this way is questionable.  The film runs two hours and sixteen minutes, so will the show start an hour earlier, as it did with "The Bad Seed.?"  Will it still cut out iconic moments?  Because if so, those like me will know every single one, and will resent it.

                                                        I just found out about a 1995 horror film called "Ice Cream Man," with a cast including Clint Howard, Jan Michael Vincent, David Warner, and David Naughton.  This is exactly the kind of film The Sven Squad should show, something we can all have fun with and laugh at. But to show "Rosemary's Baby" this way is to disrespect it.

                                                            The Devil will get you, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
