The Cult Movie Cantina is back! 🍹 We’re kicking off with Dreamscape (1984) — the Dennis Quaid sci-fi/horror classic that brought dream warriors to the screen before Freddy Krueger and A Nightmare on Elm Street.
This movie has it all:
-
Nuclear Cold War paranoia ☢️
-
Claymation snake-men 🐍
-
Government conspiracies and psychic assassins 🕵️
-
Christopher Plummer scheming, Max von Sydow mentoring, and Eddie Albert as the President 🇺🇸
-
Kate Capshaw (yes, Spielberg’s wife from Temple of Doom)
-
And Dennis Quaid fighting David Patrick Kelly (a.k.a. “Warriors, come out to play!”) in dreamland
It’s 80s sci-fi horror at its weirdest — part political thriller, part nightmare fuel, part cult movie fever dream.
🎧 If you love cult classics, 80s horror, retro sci-fi, Stephen King–era vibes, and deep dives into forgotten gems, this episode is packed for you.
