53. Canuxploitation Films, feat. Jim Laczkowski of Director’s Club

ALRIGHT, YA HOSERS, GRAB YOUR PLAID TRAPPER HAT, YOUR MOOSEHEAD, AND YOUR BIGGEST BOWL OF POUTINE – WE’RE CHECKING OUT SOME CANADIAN HORROR MOVIES!

You can’t talk about the greatest horror and exploitation films of the ‘70s and ‘80s without including our neighbors to the North. Canadian horror – or canuxploitation – is a broad subject that covers several subgenres, so Gabe and returning guest Jim Laczkowski have limited their scope to four favorites that don’t include David Cronenberg or Bob Clark: Alan Ormsb & Jeff Gillen’s Deranged (1974), Peter Carter’s Rituals (aka: The Creeper, 1977), Murray Markowitz’s I Miss You, Hugs and Kisses (1978), and Sandor Stern’s Pin (1988).
