This week we tackled a lesser-known film from 1970, but do not sleep on this one! “Equinox” is, as we discuss, the bridge between “The Blob” and “The Evil Dead,” and for that, is essential viewing in the compendium of horror films. Just—listen, just stop asking questions and watch it, it’s awesome: there is a stop-motion flying devil-demon. It’s so cool that Tim changed his rating from “rent” to “buy” and Ryan stayed with a hearty “rent.” So hike on out to that sunny SoCal forest-desert and give it a watch!
