Description

We continue #AuGHOST with our most Nearly New World episode yet with 1985's SCHOOL SPIRIT! Roger Corman produces this ghostly comedy, directed by Allan Holeb (CANDY STRIPE NURSES), about a college student whose attempts to hook up with fellow student is interrupted by a deathly car crash! We discuss why New World passed on this movie yet still released 18 AGAIN! and others, the movie's excellent soundtrack, it's physical comedy, and, of course, Hog Day!  If ghosts scare you, no reason top be frightened of this one, the ghosts can become people and then ghosts again! Wait, is that even scarier? You be the judge!

The New World Pictures Podcast is dedicated to every movie released by New World Pictures. Founded by the infamous Roger Corman, New World Pictures was responsible for the greatest genre films of the 1970's and 1980's.  Remember all those movies that lived proudly in the back isles of the video store?  Most of them were made by New World Pictures. From Death Race 2000 to Hellraiser and Piranha to Heathers. We talk about them all.  The things we loved and the things we hated along with the detailed history of each film's history and production. Some movies are great. Some are bad. All of them are New World Pictures.
