CBS LATE MOVIE: Spring Break (1983)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Spring Break was on the CBS Late Movie on September 15, 1987. Between the first Friday the 13th and the House series, Sean S. Cunningham made this teen sex comedy. As my wife Becca reminded me, one of the only differences between this movie and a slasher is that no one gets killed for all the […]

EDITOR’S NOTE: Where the Boys Are was on the CBS Late Movie on June 3, 1988.

CBS LATE MOVIE: Rituals (1977)
EDITOR’S NOTE: Rituals was on the CBS Late Movie on February 26, 1980 and January 6, 1982. Canada, with your tax shelters and movies that are far north of odd, remains our constant bastion and perhaps a place to run to. Director Peter Carter also made a movie called High-Ballin ’, and it wasn’t a porno; […]

Tales from the Darkside S3 E15: My Own Place (1987)
If you find a spacious New York apartment for $285 a month — even in 1987 — you aren’t getting a bargain. You’re probably getting a ticket to hell, baby. Sandy Darhaus (Perry Lang) is a yuppie investment banker with the kind of high-strung, large-ham energy that makes you root for the ghosts from minute […]
