Tourist Trap
Description
My brother always makes me wear this stupid mask. Join PJ and Derek as they take a detour to the wonderfully bizarre roadside attraction of David Schmoeller’s Tourist Trap (1979). In this episode the guys explore the film’s uncanny atmosphere, its unsettling use of mannequins and telekinesis, the oddball performances, and the strange space it occupies somewhere between slasher, supernatural horror, and fever dream, and why its particular brand of weirdness has earned it a devoted cult following decades after its release. 📺
