Episode description
In this spine-chilling episode of our Tales of Horror, we explore the haunting world of “The Prowler”, a 1981 slasher film that has earned its place as a cult classic in the horror genre. Join us as we dissect the creative minds behind the film, including director Joseph Zito and screenwriters Neal Barbera and Glenn Leopold. We'll delve into the performances of Vicky Dawson, Christopher Goutman, and Lawrence Tierney, while also paying homage to the legendary special effects by Tom Savini that brought the film's terrifying imagery to life. Tune in as we uncover the film's chilling narrative, its impact on the slasher movement, and why it continues to captivate horror fans decades after its release. Picking this film for this discussion is Roger Conners, otherwise known as “The Scream Queer” on Instagram and part of the Dark Night of the Podcast! His energy and knowledge was perfect for us to dive into this film, which is far much more than some of its slasher movie counterparts. Whether you're a seasoned horror aficionado or a newcomer looking to explore the darker side of cinema, this episode promises a thrilling ride through the shadows of “The Prowler”.
