"COMIN' AT YA!": ARTICLE 8

Here's article number eight in this series. It appeared on October 31, 1981 in the New York Post. The article credits "Comin'At Ya!" for the 3-D revival. The author is only identified as E.N.






Is the film world ready for a 3-D revival? Yes, judging form what happened to Comin' At Ya!, the first 3-D movie in more than 25 years.

Despite rotten reviews, the western earned a fistful of money at the box office. That success has given birth to a small army of 3-D thrillers that will soon hit the theaters.

Warner Brothers is re-releasing the classic 3-D horror film, House Of Wax, nationally in November with new publicity and advertising campaign.

Producers George Braunstein and Ron Hamady are planning Surf!, a self-proclaimed "comedy with music" that will star Linda Kerridge and Bo Derek's beauteous sister Kelly Collins.

From the producers of The Wolfen is promised Louisiana Swamp Murders, and an independent company is considering author Roger Zelazny's science-fiction anthology Roadmarks for possible three-dimensional filming.

From Iwin Yablans, one the folks responsible for Halloween and Hell Night, comes an eye-popping "futuristic science-fiction scarer" called Parasite.
