Horror 101 – Episode 85: Lifeforce (1985) March 31st, 2019
In the blink of an eye, the terror begins.
Since 1985 was a fantastic year for horror we decided to capitalize off the coincidence that this was our 85th episode and focus on another film from that year. it wasn’t easy to pick which movie we wanted to cover. In the end we decided to continue on the Tobe Hooper Vampire Train. We’re jumping from 1979’s Salem Lot to another film about life suckers and giving the Horror 101 treatment to Hooper’s Lifeforce. We’ll talk about the recent loss of Joe Pilato and Larry Cohen and introduce you to an ambitious Metal/Horror project thats in the making. Join us!
