Jason, Megan from Spoilerpiece Theatre (the balanced critic), and Paul from The Countdown (the curmudgeon) reunite to continue their descent into the golden age of slashers. This round, they tackle the first wave of 1981’s massive blood-soaked slate.
The Blood Pool includes:
-
Home Sweet Home (Jan 1, 1981) – a killer Thanksgiving turkey of a movie to kick off the year.
-
Night School (Jan 7, 1981) – Boston goes giallo with a motorcycle-helmeted killer.
-
My Bloody Valentine (Feb 11, 1981) – Canadian miners dig up one of the genre’s defining entries.
-
The Funhouse (Mar 13, 1981) – Tobe Hooper’s creepy carnival ride from Universal Studios.
