Damn you to hell submitted by tarascon on May 29, 2023, 12:44am Loved this one.
Watched the movie three times at twelve.
Read the novel at fourteen.
Still think that Heston and Zira had some sort of cross-species thing going on…

The remakes didn’t have the heart that the original had— nor the shock value.
