If someone has a DVD of this, let me know

Needless to say, I pretty much stand with the rest of the commentators on this made-for-TV film (scared to death as a kid; still vividly remember scenes to this day, etc). I see "cowboypsychic1" has a DVD of this; if it is possible to get a copy of this, please email me at: [e-mail]

It's funny that so many remember these movies, people I've talked with, people who visit here. These movies had impact, by whatever chance, and need to be shown again. I remember the mud monster, and the salt hurting it, and how they tripped it into the water to kill it. I remember the next movie being the giant turtle and the woman named Jenny, who was actually a woman turned into a sea monster created by the devil. They were shown back to back, and I remember curling up with my blanket in a darkened room with all the doors locked (yes, I KNOW they were locked because I locked them), and watching as the mud monster terrorized the hapless victims. I wish they would show these two movies again, back to back, just as they did before. That would be totally awesome.
