THE CHILDREN (1980)-After FRIDAY, THE 13TH was such a big hit, it seemed there was a new horror flick or two every week-and I tried to see as many as I could. Saw this in the theater-with a Three Stooges short- and thought it was pretty bad and 35 years later, it's still pretty bad.
However, withe passing of age, I noticed some serious social no-nos in the story, noticed Rita Montone (the hooker who gets scalped in MANIAC) makes an appearance, Harry Manfredini scores the film (with what sounds like F13 leftovers) and the lead actress is Gale Garnett who had a big hit with "WE'll Sing In The Sunshine" back in the 60's! **
