    I just received a 16MM print of Creeping Flesh that was advertised as "Flat Letterbox". It looks to be full screen. Do you have any info on Flat Letterbox? Did I get "hosed"?
    Thanks.

    Probably means that the whole frame is exposed on the film, and needs to have the top and bottom masked off during projection. "Flat" usually refers to 1.85:1 or 1.66:1 movies, and "scope" is the 2.35:1 ratio.
