I was watching midnight movies on Encore last night
It was a documentary about the making in distribution of midnight movies.
Gave RH about 30 minutes.
Great interviews.
Loved the song snippets.
Lou Adler and RKO were blown away by the NY RH club. It was so unanticipated!
The play did great in England, and OK in CA, but tanked in NYC. The movie did horribly. So they let it be released as a midnight movie and forgot about it.
Until they started getting phone calls, requesting they show up at RH conventions.
Sal (Mineo?) was interviewed for quite a bit, he was the head of the NY club. Sometimes they would come to Philly, we'd join forces, and do the stage.
In NY, they presented during the movie. In Philly, at the TLA, we'd do it before the movie.
