Cradle to the GraveON THE BRINK OF HORROR! Fade to Black (1980)This On the Brink of Horror episode was suppose to feature Cradle the Grave regular Chip Conrad. We even got together in-person to talk to about the movie. But Erik fucked up and deleted the file of our conversation. Finding this out a couple of days before the episode was scheduled to drop and Chip unable to get together for a retake, Erik was left scrambling for what to do. Enter Stephen Bissette who saved the day with a last minute chat about this little seen movie. (we also briefly touch on the 1966 British pseudo-documentary The War Game.)
