_Hooper_?

You young’uns might find this hard to believe but back in 1978 Burt Reynolds was considered a major star. _Hooper_ was seen as a major mainstream studio movie; definitely a A-picture. A 1978 B-picture would have been something like _Dawn of the Dead_ or _Piranha_.

Herschell Gordon Lewis pretty much invented the “splatter movie” with this one. The story about how he used all sorts of subterfuge to get it into the drive-ins is fascinating.
