Road Rage: The Hitcher (1986) & Race with the Devil (1975) w/ Kay Lynch

Not Your Final Girl

We’re hitting the road in this episode - metaphorically, of course. Please don’t attempt to drive through the state of Texas in real life. No good can come of it. But do listen to us; we’re with Salem Horror Fest founder Kay Lynch, who brought us a double feature that tries to outrun death and chaos on the open road (spoiler: it doesn’t work). We’re talking about nightmarish and erotic coming-of-age horror thriller The Hitcher (1986), and satanic game of cat and mouse in a winnebago, Race with the Devil (1975).

We’ve got a lot of smart and interesting thoughts on these movies, but we’ve also got Rutger Hauer getting his face spat in and apparently loving it, what it takes to make a convincing dead dog, a goblin mode cam, and us not knowing where the hell Amarillo, TX is (if you know, don’t tell us. We prefer ignorance). Everything you need for an imaginary road trip! Bring snacks.

Kay Lynch is the Founder/Director of Salem Horror Fest, independent Film Producer, and Event Producer for the George A. Romero Foundation. She has produced and promoted hundreds of events in the Art, Queer, and Horror communities all over the world and supported hundreds of independent filmmakers reach global audiences.
