It didn't get a bad rap at Slapsticon, it was a big hit at Slapsticon, then Schlesinger booked it for Cinecon and their typical humorously-challenged audience hated it, as I warned him they would. There's one schmuck on one of the collectors newsgroups who still whines about how viewing it traumatized him for life or some such, which I find doubtful that he ever had a life in the first place if it upset him so. He also blames me for it, and as I said, I didn't book it for Cinecon, Schlesinger did.
