Barry and Julia discuss Peter Jackson’s first Hollywood event film, the untamed slapstick horror of “The Frighteners” (1996). Your hosts struggle to keep up with all the subplots (there’s at least eight of them) but marvel at Jackson’s organized chaos and how good Michael J. Fox is giving this a human center. Also discussed: the non-stop (and not always persuasive) CGI and Jeffrey Comb’s wild supporting turn.
