Everyone else had sort of overlooked them. They made a few other films at Fox, but I've only seen FIVE OF A KIND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah-- sounds like a sub-category almost-- babies in horror films. Which reminds me of a 70s horror flick called THE BABY with Anjanette Comer and Ruth Roman.

TopBilled Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 I've always considered California in the Southwest myself--can't get more southern or western than SoCal Some people consider Alaska part of the west. And I've seen Texas referred to as the south and as the southwest. For our purposes, we will have covered all 50 states, even if the regions seem vaguely defined.

STEPPING OUT has aired on TCM a few times. Another one from the early 90s is the box office flop SHOUT, starring John Travolta. I love the poster art, though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
