CW: Suicide

Read our afterthoughts for this episode here!

It’s Father’s Day on Pod Sematary! Chris & Kelsey find out where their cake is and realize that Tedanson ain't no fool.

The Classic Film: Creepshow (1982)
"An anthology which tells five terrifying tales based on the E.C. horror comic books of the 1950s” (IMDb.com). If you ever read those EC horror comics, there’s a lot to appreciate and enjoy about this anthology from horror masters Stephen King and George A. Romero, but a lot less if you don’t like cockroaches. 

The Modern Film: Frailty (2001)
"A mysterious man arrives at the offices of an FBI agent and recounts his childhood: how his religious fanatic father received visions telling him to destroy people who were in fact ‘demons'” (IMDb.com). Bill Paxton’s directorial debut, Frailty is a sadly overlooked gem of the 2000-era, psycho-spiritual thriller heap.

035 - Double Feature - Prom Night (1980 & 2008) →

Worst of 2017/18 - #8 Prom Night (2008)

Prom season continues on Pod Sematary: Chris is sick! Kelsey's getting sick! And on the most important day of our lives!?
First up in the Prom Night Double Feature is the "way underrated" 1980 classic starring Scream Queen Jamie Lee Curtis. It's the movie that asks, "What if Carrie but Halloween? Plus Saturday Night Fever?" Remember kids: Be a Kim - Not a Wendy.
Then Chris gets very angry about prescription medication and then just angry in general when discussing the "fucking paint-by-numbers bullshit" 2008 sequel. The less said about this one the better, we think.
