Terror Train (1980) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - October 2, 1980

I saw this at the Southshore in Alameda, on a double-bill with The Children (1980). 

This would be the third horror movie released in 1980 featuring Jamie Lee Curtis, following The Fog and Prom Night. It would also serve as the directing debut of Roger Spottiswoode, who would go on to make far better movies than this. Top billed Ben Johnson had already been in quite a few better films than Terror Train, such as Mighty Joe Young (1949) and The Wild Bunch (1969), but he had also been in far worse, most notably the debacle that was Irwin Allen's Production of The Swarm (1978).

While I do have a pretty decent recall of this film, I doubt that I have watched it more than twice, at most. Once on the big screen and, maybe, once more on either HBO or home video. Maybe.
