Horror Movie Night Episode 77: The Deadly Spawn (1983)

If the creeping dread of another Cold War hasn’t quite hit you yet, the HMN boys will get you there with 1983’s low budget, killer-alien-in-a-meteorite The Deadly Spawn! This homage (well, more pastiche, really) to the alien monster heyday of the 1950s spent all of its money on creature effects (which are awesome, despite what Adam may think) and then hired people off the street to get eaten by weird hungry tadpoles. Don’t go in your swampy, disgusting basement, cuz it’s Horror Movie Night, comrade!
