On July 29th 1977, an impressive little horror film premiered for the world. At least it was supposed to premiere. Unfortunately only 65 days prior, a new film called “Star Wars” was released first and it managed to occupy every screen in every movie theater on what seemed like the entire planet.

1970 was a great year for British horror. We’re not entirely sure why, but it was. And one reason to justify that claim is the film we shall present on our next show: “Scream and Scream Again.” Sounds like a double-billing or a sequel, doesn’t it?

Many of our lovely viewers have requested this one for a number of years, but it was a bit of a challenge getting our hands on it. Finally the wait is over. This weekend we’ll be showing the wonderful “Norliss Tapes” from 1973.

Of all the spiders in the world, the tarantula would have to be the teddy bear of arachnid society. It’s sweet and calm and fluffy and affectionate. Of course, not in our upcoming movie. For this week, the creatures we shall feature are the mean versions of our favorite spider – “Tarantulas: The Deadly Cargo” from 1977.

Bonus segment from episode 268.
It’s been almost four years since we’ve shown this one. Just long enough so Vince doesn’t remember any of it and most of our new viewers may have likely never seen it. The Beast from Haunted Cave from 1959. Produced by Roger Corman’s brother, Gene, this film is somewhat rather different from the typical 50’s monster film.
