It's a Karen Black three-for-all as Art and Erik dive into the probably the strangest iconic horror classic of a certain generation. We're talking about the 1975 made-for-television horror flick Trilogy of Terror.
Everybody knows the horrifying images of the final sequence - a woman being terrorized by a superstitious little entity in her city apartment. But almost nobody remembers the other two segments in this trilogy.
Don't fear, the guys are covering those forgotten first two in their usual comedic way.
Weird fiction master Richard Matheson wrote the original stories this tryptych was based on, and Dan Curtis (Dark Shadows and The Night Stalker) directed.
We're covering it all:
• Karen Black's multiple characters
• A very strange set of demonic books
• 70's furniture, clothing and hairstyles.
• How to make a 7 inch tall puppet scary as hell
