http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsSNaacXOVAI recall seeing this in 16mm a few times at the old 24-hour "Night of the Living Drexel" horror marathons in Columbus years ago. I did a little digging on the talent behind this very effective spoof -
Marshall Harvey is apparently a big time editor often linked with Joe Dante, and
Bob Rogers has done many more shorts. Have not yet found anything on collaborator Stephen Boyd, obviously not the late actor. Their followup short CLOSET CASES OF THE NERD KIND I believe was packaged on a program of comedy shorts from Warner Home Video years ago along with HARDWARE WARS and PORKLIPS NOW.
So I guess my question for the day regarding SNACK BAR is one, whether this has ever existed or been seen in 35mm, and two, as comical and unlikely as it sounds, has anyone ever seen it used to actually promote a theatre or drive-in snack bar? It probably would have gone over great at the dusk-to-dawn spook shows.
