It’s Comedy Horror Week on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey will show you a killer hillbilly!
The Classic Film: Idle Hands (1999)
"A teenage slacker's right hand becomes possessed with murderous intent” (IMDb.com). A beloved teenage comedy-horror, Idle Hands didn't age very well, but it's still way better than the critics gave it credit for. At least the actors are.
The Modern Film: Tucker and Dale vs Evil (2010)
"Affable hillbillies Tucker and Dale are on vacation at their dilapidated mountain cabin when they are mistaken for murderers by a group of preppy college students” (IMDb.com). A genuinely funny send-up of hillbilly-horror tropes, Tucker and Dale vs Evil should be seen if you missed it the first time around.
