Scalps. The Movie!
Sometimes in life things are not what they seem. The VHS box of 1983's Scalps is one of those things. I remember my eyes locking onto this box every time I went with my Dad to the video store. He would be browsing for movies and I would be glued to the horror section looking at all the gruesome goodies on the covers. This one had a rotting corpse with a mouse on it and looked mighty horrifying to my young eyes.
In fact, it still is horrifying to me but for all the wrong reasons. Now it is more about watching something so bad and out of focus trying to figure out how these movies were given such wide releases back in the day.
No internet to speak of back then, so the only way to find out was to spend a few bucks to rent it and see for yourself.
And that is exactly what we are doing today in the Birdhole. So won't you get your tomahawk and join us as we slice up...Scalps!
