THE FAN (1981) with ZANE C. WEBER & KRISTEN BARROS

Curtain up! Light the lights!  You got nothing to feel but the FRIGHTS!!![On the surface, THE FAN from 1981 starring LAUREN BACALL and MICHAEL BIEHN was been ill-advised flop.The story of an aging screen legend trying to make a comeback by appearing in her first Broadway musical didn't appeal to horror fans. The attempt to cash in the recent success of films like FRIDAY THE 13th by adding over-the-top violence scared off everyone else.I still can't believe someone made a slasher movie with music by MARVIN HAMLISCH. However......I have been looking for ages for an opportunity to get the crew of MUSICALS TAUGHT ME EVERYTHING I KNOW on the show.THE FAN provided that.So, for bringing me the gift of ZANE C. WEBER and KRISTEN BARROS and making all my "horror/musical" dreams come true, Patrick K. Walsh raves:"THE FAN is a smash hit! This year's MUST SEE!I laughed. I screamed. IT WAS BETTER THAN CATS!"__________________________________________________EVERY DAY ISH A L L O W E E N:A Fundraiser for New Alternatives For Homeless LGBT Youth Donate directly at bit.ly/sqpodna  or through Facebook at bit.ly/sqpodfbThis episode was recorded with SQUADCAST: Remote Interviews for Professional Podcasters.Find out more at bit.ly/squadqueenzMentioned in this episode:Network Plug with musicThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp
