Based on email follow up from Duane:

"That was a great write up, thanks for passing that along! And very flattering. I'm a little verklempt.

I like the way you dodged the plot details but still were able to talk about the game so well. And your observation about the planning still has me turning ideas over in my head.

I am, indeed, running p7 at least two more times, one at Dundracon."

It was a really good game, glad you're going to run it again (and even more so that I left out plot details ( ... )

I really liked how this game played, since I was doubtful of the mixed genre working with a well-known story.
Sean, I thought you jumped the gun on letting out your secret as I thought you were playing it out quite well. And though the secret was of import to your character, because of the movies, there's a certain expectation of your character's development.

My own observation about this horror game was the mood was compromised due to out of character joking. I thought there were enough incidents on their own for comedic relief.
