Ep. 104 – The Prowler

It’s time, scaredy cats, for the fourth episode of our Slasher September! Today’s classic slasher is Joseph Zito’s 1981 bayonet spree: THE PROWLER. We start by getting confused by this movie’s IMDb log line, annoying each other with Zelda Rubinstein voices, and remembering IT COMES AT NIGHT. Dave talks about Adam Green’s 2010 HATCHET 2, Chris tells us about Fulci’s 1972 DON’T TORTURE A DUCKLING, and we talk about the progression of slashers from 70’s giallo to 2000’s meta slashers. Then we chat all about different film cuts for different countries, cricket noise soundtracks, wheelchair weirdos, creepy pool scenes, intelligent victims, Tom Savini’s head explosions, inconsistent humor, unexplained pitchforks, throat-based kills, and oh so much prowling. So sit back with your favourite bayonet, and enjoy another great Slasher September episode of the TEXCHRIS DAVESAW MASSACRE! Continue reading →
