069 - The 'Burbs (1989) & Slither (2006)

Pod Sematary - A podcast by A Horror Movie Podcast by Chris & Kelsey

Categories:

It's Small Town Horror Week on Pod Sematary when Chris and Kelsey discuss two movies that might be more comedy than horror! The Classic Film: The 'Burbs (1989) An overstressed suburbanite and his fellow neighbors are convinced that the new family on the block are part of a murderous Satanic cult. What is it about this critical and commercial flop from Joe Dante that made it charm on home video and TV? Probably Tom Hanks... and the rest of the killer cast. The Modern Film: Slither (2006) A small town is taken over by an alien plague, turning residents into zombies and all forms of mutant monsters. This one may not be quite as charming as The 'Burbs, but James Gunn's Slither is certainly faster, bigger, and nastier. Get more at podsematary.com!
