This is a tribute Twitter to the 1980 suspense thriller "FADE TO BLACK" and its star Dennis Christopher

I'm not trying to "brag" or anything, but - the man HIMSELF said this, so...

If you are into #FadeToBlack this is the @Twitter account for you. Thomas is THE SOURCE for all things FTB. A nice guy to boot. I highly recommend @TCinCT_2012 🖤

@TheApolloTwin If you've never read it, the novelization (which includes scenes that didn't end up in the film) is available on the Internet Archive :

@TheApolloTwin I much prefer the 1981 film of the same name 😉

[Thomas Michaels @TCinCT_2012]

@juliacmarchese That's awesome! You sent me the DVD and the soundtrack CD many years ago (in a trade - I sent you a Xerox copy of Vernon Zimmerman's draft of FTB), and I *loved* your film! An excellent doc about 35mm & the film fans who worship that format! It DESERVES to be seen!!!

Previously unseen on set photos of @DennisChristo4 as Eric as Dracula in "FADE TO BLACK"

@ClassicHBOGuide Wow, that's an obscure one! Hadn't thought of that film since it was on cable. Completely forgot about its existence.

@juliacmarchese @DennisChristo4 @WeRIntoSurvival In Ron's *excellent* novelization, he includes a scene which was edited out of FADE TO BLACK.
Eric is in the lobby of the theater, and he meets a dude dressed as a spaceman! (Richie's brother)

Here's a shot of that deleted scene:

An eighties oddity of a man whose only friends are movies who longs for the final reel to finish, @DennisChristo4 stars in Fade to Black, now streaming on @Shudder_UK .

I love 1980's FADE TO BLACK, I bought the novelization. If you haven't seen the film, please watch - @DennisChristo4 is so amazing in it.

Tell me your memories of this film/book! My podcast @WeRIntoSurvival has an episode on it & an interview with Dennis Christopher too!

[Thomas Michaels @TCinCT_2012]

@juliacmarchese One of my favorites! What's interesting is that in the stack on your wall, you have the tape right next to FTB, and the main characters in both films ride around on a scooter (Jimmy a Lambertta, Eric a Vespa) 🛵

Fade to Black (1980)

A great, lesser known 80s horror.

[Thomas Michaels @TCinCT_2012]

@ClassicHBOGuide Yeah, it's odd how it has drifted into obscurity nowadays! My late grandma *loved* WN, and she would watch the film every time one of the cable tv channels aired it! She even had the soundtrack LP ! 🤣

@ClassicHBOGuide Connecticut feels like planet Hoth right now 🥶

[Windy City Ballyhoo @WCBallyoo]

On November 7, 1980, the cult horror film Fade To Black, starring Dennis Christopher as a movie-obsessed madman, opened in The Loop at the State-Lake Theatre. Notably, it was one of the few horror movies in 1980 to receive a positive review from Roger Ebert. It’s was a miracle.

[HBO Guide @ClassicHBOGuide]

Starting today on The Movie Channel in 1981 - the #Halloween week of terror….something for everyone: FADE TO BLACK or THE SHINING, FREAKY FRIDAY or DRACULA TODAY! #Dracula #Vampire #Halloweentime #halloween2025 #mummy

[Thomas Michaels @TCinCT_2012]

Halloween season is the perfect time to watch FADE TO BLACK starring @DennisChristo4 .It is available on 4k HD from @ShoutFactory and streaming on PLUTO TV. Eric Binford was the OG Cosplay movie buff, in costume as his heroes and talking film trivia, 45 years ahead of his time!

[Thomas Michaels @TCinCT_2012]

Look into my eyes!

@DennisChristo4 as #EricBinford does his best #BelaLugosi impersonation in #FadeToBlack

Recommend it to a fan of classic horror this Halloween 🎃
