Fear Flashbacks! – SWAMP THING (1981)

Okay, this ad (circa 1986) from Los Angeles independent station, KTLA, trumpets this showing of Wes Craven’s SWAMP THING as a ‘world television premiere’. I don’t know if I’m going to fall for that shit. I don’t mean to be a grumpy old fart here, but why did it take approximately five years for this to show up on network television? For God’s sake, PROM NIGHT (1980) was on NBC less than nine months after it was released. Nice try, KTLA. Five years, my ass.
