Summary: On the day I was born....the nurses all gathered 'round. To gaze at the wild wonder....at the the joy they had found. The one nurse spoke up....said leave this one alone. I can tell by the way....he's Bad To The Bone. Evil kids. The kneejerk reaction may be to dismiss this subgenre of horror as played out but your hosts are committed to overcome this stereotype by discussing examples where the theme of true darkness hiding behind the eyes of innocence worked perfectly. Of the many titles covered, there are specific recommendations for The Bad Seed (1956), The Children (2008) and Joshua (2007). We take time to debate the issue of environment vs heredity and whether there is in fact a profound effectiveness of the subject on those viewers who are raising children of their own. We hope you enjoy our sister episode to last week's topic kid-friendly horror by delving into the nightmare of evil kids. Schlock Corner continues the theme as we remember back to one of the highlight's of (the oft maligned) Robocop 2 - Hob! (Link to Hob Goes Wild). A random assortment of topics to close out the show including H2 (buckle up), contest winners, Tales of the Black Frieghter and more. Thank you Bill for the very generous contribution to the show.
