This episode we are CONCLUDING our multi-episode series on the concept of animal horror, with 1988’s Slugs and 1972’s Frogs

We begin by talking about what horror related things we had done lately. Liam talks about catching Lady .45 at the Mahoning Drive In’s Lethal Ladies event and watching Cooties. Justin discusses his experiences at Monster Mania Con in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Woo!

Up first we talk about 1988’s Slugs. We open up by talking about the lunacy that is the fact that this is based on a novel.

We give a basic outline of the film. We discuss the difficulty in making the titular animals threatening and how the film oftentimes fails to believably do so. We talk about the strange language barrier often found in films in the English language written by people who do not consider English their primary language.

We talk about the surprising effectiveness of some of the films special effects and how the ending suffers from the same problem that Pirahna suffered from.
