i have so many questions and curiosities! One thing I am curious about is the Choctaw group coming after the Vampire.. I wonder what happened with the Choctaw before we see the guy appear at the KKK house
Saw the movie at Sperry Theater in Holland, MI on Tuesday. Lot to process for this old white guy. Hope to join you tonight...
