Fair use rationale for Image:Terrortrainposter.jpg
Image:Terrortrainposter.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

"starring in three horror films in one year made her a "Scream Queen", (which was improvised in the movie Scream)." What does this mean? The parenthetical part, what does it mean? 24.225.102.159 (talk) 09:21, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Page Overhaul
Performed a major overhaul on this page:

Deleted the "Information" section. Moved VHS/DVD info to its own section. Moved info on Spottiswoode up to the main subject summary. Eliminated the following as either unverifiable original research/opinion or irrelevant to the subject:


 * "Halloween made Jamie Lee Curtis a young star; starring in three horror films in one year made her a "Scream Queen", (which was improvised in the movie Scream). Terror Train is probably the least remembered of these films. Released in the United States on October 3, 1980 by 20th Century Fox, the film probably suffered from overexposure of its main star. The Fog and Prom Night had already been released to theaters, and enjoyed some success at the height of the early 1980s horror craze.


 * "Original VHS copies were fetching up to $30 USD on eBay before the DVD was available."


 * "He [Spottiswoode] is an Emmy Award winning director, who has also won several other directing honors." (Spottiswoode has never won an Emmy)


 * "Many of the cars were damaged during filming by cutting holes to allow filming within the various compartments, and the movie portrayal does not accurately reflect proper operating practices." (I couldn't find anything on this; if someone does, please feel free to add it back.)
