This week Josh and Drusilla discuss a George Romero deep cut but possibly his best film, Martin (1977). From wiki: “Martin (also known internationally as Wampyr) is a 1977[2] American horror film written and directed by George A. Romero, starring John Amplas. The film follows a troubled young man who believes himself to be a vampire.[3] Shot in 1976, Martin was Romero's fifth feature film following his previous film, The Crazies (1973). Romero said that Martin was the favorite of all his films.[4][5] The film is also the first collaboration between George Romero and special effects artist Tom Savini. While a prosecution for obscenity did not result, the film was seized and confiscated in the UK under Section 3 of the Obscene Publications Act 1959 during the video nasty panic.”

Also discussed: Goke: Body Snatcher from Hell, Larry Cohen’s career and Special Effects, which services are available through 911, L’eggs brand pantyhose, Pirahna, and more.
