        Perhaps you are ;) No worries: to paraphrase a line that Pat McGoohan says in THE PRISONER, if we all thought the same way, we would be nothing more than a row of cabbages :)

          Edit: If Vampyros Lesbos and she Killed in Ecstasy (Severin) were 2016 then add them too
          Is Sweet Body of Deborah (Xrated) English friendly? & what is the difference betweeb Shiver of the Vampires (wicked vision media) & the Redemption BD of the same film?

                      Thank you, homie! It's very aesthetically pleasing, and just, I dunno... feels right.
