Stuff We’ve Seen

A look at Criterion Channel’s 80s Horror Collection

That's right, it's horror month. October is a great time to catch up on horror movies, and that's exactly what Jim and Teal did. Using the Criterion Channel's 30-film 80s horror film series as their guide, Jim and Teal set out to see some horror flicks that eluded them over the years. 

The Criterion Channel's list features some real obscurities of titles Jim and Teal never heard of before. Frank Henenlotter (Basket Case, Brain Damage, Frankenhooker) may have become a new favorite of theirs.

And the collection provided opportunities for J&T to take several side trips to other horror films.

 

A spooky time should be had by all when you listen to this episode.
