Are there reasons why a Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street haven't been shown (at least since I've been attending which is probably about 10-12 years now, apologies if movies from those series had been shown before that)?
Availability issues? Organizer's preference issues?
Just curious. Not a rabid fan of either personally, but as someone in my mid-30s, both series were some of the first horror movies I remember being exposed to (thanks babysitters!) so I do have a nostalgic soft spot.
I know "back in the day" the owner of The Drexel was against Friday the 13th showing, probably because it was to commercial or he was afraid people would start asking to see the sequels. However he is no longer the owner so basically it's up to Bruce and Joe and I know neither are against show a Friday the 13th movie, it's basically try it to squeeze it into the theme of the event.
