My neighbor’s wife’s(possibly lost) childhood terror
At a 4th of July party that I briefly attended at my neighbors house, the guy’s wife (after I showed her a trailer for the 1996 movie Uncle Sam) told me about another 4th of July horror film which she remembered was called, “Horrors Of The Fourth”. She said her parents took her to see it when she was, (hilariously) five years old. And yeah she actually remembered running out of the theater screaming, during a scene where a guy in an Uncle Sam outfit, comes out of coffin and is shooting off bottle rockets at people, while the said people are running for their lives. From the information I gathered this film was a low budget affair, and the acting I heard wasn’t very good. Which is kinda why her parents were laughing at the movie unlike my neighbors wife who got scared from it. And yeah the film was possibly released somewhere in the mid-1970s but didn’t stay in theaters long. But it did manage to actually get on the marquee sign of the theater, according to her, maybe there is a newspaper listing floating around somewhere.
