Despite dating way back to the 1960s, 100 Grand Bars have always been an often overlooked and underestimated candy — much like how director Damien Leone‘s indie horror film Terrifier 2 became one of those rare hits that surprised everyone by reaching $6m at the box office despite its inexpensive budget of $250k. Filled with loads of suspense, excessive gore, and countless scares, Terrifier 2 will make a great Halloween movie to check out this year while munching on a 100 Grand — the perfect snack to go along with it.
