203 - Tourist Trap (1979)

Disenfranchised

“You’re so pretty…”

We’re out on vacation for Week Two of Spooky-thon and this week, we’re covering a rare PG-rated slasher from the earliest years of the subgenre and, along the way, discuss such diverse topics as the filmographies of Joel Schumacher and propagandist Leni Riefenstahl, whether or not this film’s star Chuck Connors (a.k.a. ‘The Rifleman’) was a good dad, who won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 2002, and the original Straw Dogs, its remake, and the real world and online personas of James Woods.
