My Bloody Valentine (1981) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - February 13, 1981

This Canuxploitation slasher craze cash-in, and beloved minor cult classic, got a delightful two-for for its holiday themed release. You see,Valentine's Day would fall on a Saturday in 1981, just like it is in this year of our mythical-lord 2026, which meant the film would open on the very appropriate, and ironic, date of Friday the 13th.

Legend has it that the film was butchered by the MPAA in order to get that mandated R-rating. Some (if not most) of that cut footage was restored by Scream Factory. So if you are interested, check it out.
