    10/22/2026 | 33 mins.
    From the late ’70s, through the ’80s, and all the way to the early ’90s, horror movie fanatic and humble highway mechanic John Ackroyd cruised up and down the 20 chewing Fireballs. Patrolling the central Oregon woods. Occasionally hunting deer, but preferably poaching a girl.
