Flickers from the Cave

Episode 131 - The Town That Dreaded Evictors


Listen Later

We happily ran back into the arms of legendary Arkansas film-maker, Charles B. Pierce this time on the podcast, choosing two of the films that he directed. We start of with "The Evictors" from 1979. With a great cast featuring Jessica HarperMichael Parks and Vic Morrow, it is an effective tale of mysterious goings-on at a house in the 1940s. We follow it up with probably his second-most famous film "The Town That Dreaded Sundown" from 1976. With the incredible Andrew Prine and a fun cameo role by Pierce himself as "Sparkplug", this movie REALLY delivers some memorable moments as it tells the tale of a hooded killer called "The Phantom" that is stalking the back roads of Texarkana, claiming victims. We truly understand why this film has the excellent reputation it has.
