Episode description
With an all-star cast and one creepy puppet, Richard Attenborough’s 1978 psychological thriller/horror Magic shocked audiences and brought the horror of ventriloquism and severe mental illness into the 1970s spotlight. Dan and Jon look back on what could have been a pillar in the discussion of 1970s horror, but only lives on as a footnote in the careers of legends. But is there a chance to remind audiences about this forgotten gem?
