Episode 124 - Flickers From the Sewer

We are getting all up in some manholes this time for the podcast.  Down in the darkness, under the city streets, there are things moving around in a very spooky way in both of the movies we talk about. We start with 1980's Scared to Death, from Bill Malone. It features a big humanoid monster known as the Syngenor that is killing people left and right. Only one former alcoholic, former cop has the skill to solve the mystery. It is very ambitious, and largely successful, especially when you consider the film's budget.  We follow that up with another from 1980, Lewis Teague's completely fantastic movie, Alligator.  Someone flushed a baby alligator down the toilet, 15 years ago, and that baby alligator has been eating the test animals from a local genetics lab which gives it a more than subtle growth-spurt. It stars the always-excellent Robert Forster and the totally gorgeous Robin Riker and the film is basically a perfect monster movie.  Let us know what you thought of the show by writing to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.
