Episode 226 - What Scares You Vol. 4 - Clowns Redux

To celebrate Halloween, we went back to the well for another round of "What Scares You?"© where Julie returned to the creepy land of clowns! We start off with the abysmal "The Clown Murders" from 1976. Directed by Martyn Burke, who've we talked about before, this is a fully Canadian production with some familiar faces in the cast, including the late great John Candy! The story is more complicated than it needs to be and the script wanders here and there, leaving the viewer dissatisfied and confused. We follow that up with the surprising "Blood Harvest" from 1987. Directed by the legend Bill Rebane and starring the famous weirdo Tiny Tim, this one really delivers the goods! What's most surprising is that the whole thing was shot in 2 days and, viewed with that in mind, this is essentially perfect. We then proceed to list the various things we've been watching for fun. Please let us know what you thought of the show, and send us some suggestions for future episodes. You can email us at flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.
