Mr. Beardsley?! Squirm From Arrow September 23rd

Starring: Don Scardino, Patricia Pearcy, R.A. Dow
Directed by: Jeff Lieberman

Overview: THIS WAS THE NIGHT OF THE CRAWLING TERROR!

One of the most original and entertaining of the revenge-of-nature films that characterised mid-1970s American horror, Squirm begins with a pylon being downed by a thunderstorm, sending millions of volts into the wet, conductive mud, which naturally gives hundreds of thousands of its wriggly inhabitants an insatiable hunger for human flesh.

And since the accident has also inconveniently cut off the electricity to Fly Creek, Georgia, its population could hardly be more vulnerable when the sun goes down. Houses can be barricaded against most intruders, but what happens when they're small enough to get into the water supply?

Writer-director Jeff Lieberman (who also made the cult classics Blue Sunshine and Just Before Dawn) achieves a near-perfect blend of knowing wit and good old-fashioned scares, with make-up genius Rick Baker (An American Werewolf in London) on hand for some of the memorably disgusting special effects.

Region B/2

I'm hoping that Scream might get this one in the future. Not because I like the movie, I know it's supposed to be tongue in cheek and I mean no offense to Jeff Lieberman by this but I personally think that Squirm is a turd of a movie with bad acting performed by unappealing actors. But if Scream puts this one out they'd probably put out the Squirm episode of MST3K as well and I'm 100% for anything that gets that episode released.
