Needful Things (Air Date: 11/14/98)

Update: Here are those time codes we promised you! Big thanks to our homie Ben Nagy gif helping out with these…Here’s a lil’ note he included to hopefully help make it easier for you to navigate:

“Here you’ll get much better results if you use the scene cut descriptions rather than the time codes since there was, oh, about an hour & a half more of the flick shown on TNT and that version’s really hard to come by.” 

(One of our Patreon Pals has already found this version for us, though. Scroll down to Gregory B. Carnes’s comment to watch this version of the movie on YouTube...Thanks so much for that, Greg!!) 

Time Codes:

Start the…

First segment: Before the flick.

Eighth segment: About 1:39:08 in after Pangborn sighs and looks up.

Happy Splatterday Night, Patreon Pals! 🥰

Tonight we have the super duper extra extended cut of Needful Things…which is not something I’m sure I ever need to see. 😉 But if you’re down for this loooooooong version we’ll have those time codes ready for you sometime tomorrow. And I’ll try to see if I can find this version streaming somewhere for you, too.

In the meantime you can enjoy my very first co-hosting job with him. 😉 (This “me” is probably a lil’ more lively than I was during the first marathon… 😉)

Enjoy, horror Homies…And don’t forget you get an extra hour to tear the 🖤 outta this boo-tiful Splatterday Night! 🤠🖤🖤
