It’s wall-to-wall Thrills, Chills, and Spills in this episode. And about a million crazy birds. Ariel and Candace are talking to Hello Bakersfield host Carla Barrientos about a couple of good ol spook shows: Hitchcock’s classic The Birds, and EC Comics adaptation (and forerunner to the TV show that scared the shit out of Candace as a kid) Tales From the Crypt.
Pull up a sarcophagus and turn on some ominous organ music, cause we’ve got prank addictions, hetero hijinks, literal poetic justice, a killer Santa (and no other mention of Christmas?), and a crypt keeper who isn’t gleeful about sentencing the damned to eternal torture. And if sometimes the characters behave as if they’ve never seen a horror movie? Give them a break, okay? It was a different time.
Carla Barrientos, a Bakersfield native, is a co-host on the Hello Bakersfield podcast, a podcast that explores the dynamic people, places and culture of Bakersfield, California. She also specializes in child behavior management and special needs. She enjoys watching horror films with her husband (after her 2 year old son has gone to bed, as she's planning on getting him in on the fun once he's a little older).
Movies Discussed: The Birds (1963), Tales From the Crypt (1972)
