Leading up to our two-part Horror Movies series, we wanted to return to this little prequel focused on one of my most favorite horror movies ever and the wild story behind one of the most successful horror hoaxes of all time. So listen for the first time or rewind this old Blockbuster VHS and listen again. For more on horror movies and their link to culture, check out our other episodes on Monsters, Rednecks, the Satanic Panic, Phantom Clowns, and Talking to the Dead.
