I'm not trying to "brag" or anything, but - the man HIMSELF said this, so...

If you are into #FadeToBlack this is the @Twitter account for you. Thomas is THE SOURCE for all things FTB. A nice guy to boot. I highly recommend @TCinCT_2012 🖤

On November 7, 1980, the cult horror film Fade To Black, starring Dennis Christopher as a movie-obsessed madman, opened in The Loop at the State-Lake Theatre. Notably, it was one of the few horror movies in 1980 to receive a positive review from Roger Ebert. It’s was a miracle.

Halloween season is the perfect time to watch FADE TO BLACK starring @DennisChristo4 .It is available on 4k HD from @ShoutFactory and streaming on PLUTO TV. Eric Binford was the OG Cosplay movie buff, in costume as his heroes and talking film trivia, 45 years ahead of his time!

In 2012 legendary producer IRWIN YABLANS released his autobiography, in which he discussed his illustrious career. He only touched on #FadeToBlack briefly, in the span of two pages. He praised star @DennisChristo4, but wasn't very impressed with the film's director:

On This Week in Horror, we recall a cult classic from 45 years ago. Fade to Black overachieves thru a creative story & fine acting. Dennis Christopher plays the disturbed Eric Binford, who's obsessed w/ old horror films. #ghostlygallerypodcast #fadetoblack youtube.com/shorts/tKzrcNf…
