Christmas came early for fans of the 1983 classic holiday movie "A Christmas Story," thanks to the Valley Performing Arts Center at California State University, Northridge with a special screening of the film and a Q&A session that included many of the film's original cast members.
Hosted by LALA Music Fest and The Valley Relics Museum, cast members Scott Schwartz (Flick), Ian Petrella (Randy), Zack Ward (Scut) R.D. Robb (Schwartz) Yano Anaya (Grover) were on hand to sign autographs, pose for photos and chat with fans about the beloved classic that turns 32 years-old this year.
For Scott Schwartz, what started out as a small movie that would experience a resurgence many years later, the films longevity still comes as surprise.
"This movie was not supposed to be this," Schwartz tells HNGN exclusively. "It was a $5 Million movie Bob Clark loved and wanted to make. MGM didn't, so he basically blackmailed them into it."
