It’s both a better movie than the Nic Cage remake and has a way more interesting backstory than the bee movie could ever live up to

We’re starting October with one of the team’s favorite horror movies. No bees here–just one of Christopher Lee’s favorite roles, a movie he believed in so much he literally paid his own way for a press tour to small towns across America, and possibly the weirdest post-production history of all time.

CONTENT WARNING for discussion of animal death, sexual harassment, and misogyny (because we couldn’t completely escape talking about the remake)
