Ever wonder why some horror movies leave you hiding behind the couch while others just make you laugh at the absurdity? Our latest episode continues our spine-tingling trip through the horror films of the 1970s. We rip into the over-hyped "The Omen" and its puzzling franchise success, but find an unexpected guilty pleasure in the low-budget creature feature "Squirm." Our debate on "Carrie" might just split the room, as we argue over its rightful place in the horror hall of fame.
We also exchange our candid thoughts on the victim hierarchy within classics like "Alien" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre." We don't hold back on our love for "Halloween," scrutinizing the undying enigma of Michael Myers, while admitting it's hard not to rate this slasher near-perfectly.
As we bid adieu to the decade, we reflect with a mix of awe and head-shaking disbelief: from "Alien's" masterful suspense to the comedic misfire of "Tentacles," and the undervalued chills of "The Amityville Horror." Our stroll down this cinematic memory lane is packed with critiques on film scores and musings on the most overused tropes we love to mock. Whether you're a die-hard fan or a casual viewer, this episode is a treasure trove of horror nostalgia and insights that will have you rethinking your 70s horror movie rankings.
