This is great. I was a teen when the movie came out and I've always loved it.
RIP:
River Phoenix (Wolfgang)
Amanda Peterson (Lori)
Dick Miller (Charlie Drake)

Maybe one day I'll get to see it on the big screen, and RIP..

Next up I'll share the info on the trash can. For a long time I searched the internet for the accurate trash can that matches the one on screen. I previously had a 1960s witt as a placeholder. The screen used can is also a witt can, but from the 1940s. These cans are pretty hard to find and there's different sizes and details on each one, I looked at a lot that looked nearly identical until I would notice one tiny barely noticeable difference. (Rivet spacing, the flange at the bottom of the can and overall size of the can) well I got super lucky and found one about 2 hours away from me on marketplace that was an EXACT match for the can in the movie. So I made the trip and brought it home. Keep in mind the can in the movie was painted silver (for some reason)

The movie can:

And my can:
