- BMc2020 3y agoI seem to recall from the end credits, where after it was over at Cannes, they said anyone who wanted to stay and watch Coven could. Everyone stayed.
- kevinsync 3y agoFor a couple of years there after it came out on DVD, Mark Borchardt and Mike Schank had a website that they posted Mike's phone number, and you could call and leave a voicemail. That always put a smile on my face, his outgoing message was jamming on a guitar playing Led Zeppelin. I wish I could recall the URL to find it on Wayback Machine.
