Terror Train is another slasher that proved a lot better than I remembered it being when I watched it again about a year ago. But while the movie was enjoyable, the ads for it’s first run kinda stink. Yeah, the quality of the old Conestoga Four ad mats definitely took a nose dive when the 1980’s hit, with these hastily hacked and pasted together montages, which is both embarrassing and kinda sucks for ad hunters like myself. Feh.
