A Year In Horror

Today I chat with J. Robbins, that's right, THE J. Robbins that played in D.C. hardcore punk legends Government Issue and then he formed Jawbox and Burning Airlines amongst others. Now he is killing it having gone solo and his latest album Basilisk is getting some serious airtime in my house. To the point where I had to reach out and ask the man, do you like scary movies? We chat all things music and spooky stuff and then dip into the horror masterwork, The Night of the Hunter.

It's time for one of those huge episodes. Well, it's a four parter anyways. 1977 was a HUGE year for horror movies but if you are into sci-fi well then, 1977 would be a bonanza for you. Sadly the undercards are not as strong as usual... Sheesh! But, what do I think was the very greatest horror movie that came out during 1977? Well, here we have the top 10. The worst 10. A slew of also rans. Some awesome mates. Some special guests. Several pints of beer and a 5 hour running time split over 4 episodes. This is 1977, A Year In Horror.

It's a pretty long journey this one, part 4 of 4 in fact. I am going to give you the time codes below so if you don't want spoilers then, please, avert your eyes.
