Jon Putnam sent in the Chicago movie listings for this week in 1979, highlighting the grindhouses in the Loop and some of the more colorful theaters in the outlying areas. I thought it would be interesting to dig up the 42nd Street line-up for the same week and pit the two monsters against each other. Enjoy!
