    ON THE BRINK OF HORROR! Heathers (1989)

    For many of us our High School years were like living inside a horror movie! One film that perfectly captured that feeling of isolation, dread, and uncertainly was 1989's Heathers. A time capsule from a different era that my guest comic book writer Brian Buccellato and I had a wonderful time reminiscing about.

    It's the end of the 80's and the end of your host Erik's High School years. After graduation, 18 year old Erik took some college courses, got a job delivering pizza, and learned how to play guitar.  There was also a lot more horror movies as he could now get into Rated R films!

Thumbs up!

The show is dope.

A novel conceit

Maybe the idea of a year-by-year deep dive into horror films have been tackled before, but as I’ve never encountered them I found the conceit interesting. I’m looking forward to more installments and hoping that some of my more obscure favorites get reviewed.
