About

Welcome ladies, germs, and people of all genders! Join Taylor & Curtis as we discuss a misunderstood and under appreciated horror legend, the recently departed (Rest in Power!) Tobe Hooper. Specifically, we take a look at four of his more overlooked - rightly and wrongly - films, i.e. not TCM or Poltergeist. Do Taylor and Curtis discover some hidden gems or simply subject themselves to rightly derided stinkers? Can a movie about a haunted laundry somehow entertain? And is cooking hard boiled eggs and appropriate mechanism for combating depression? Listen in and find out!Want to learn more? Check out some of the sources we used for this episode:"They Came.
