This week Bryan and Dave go long on one of their shared favorites, John Carpenter's first fertile footsteps into the 1980's, the decade that would come to define his entire career and he couldn't have made a bolder announcement of his arrival than with this subdued ghost story, told in the old campfire tales. It's equal parts gothic spooks and EC Comics style ghoulish horror, a tale of revenge from beyond the grave, ghost sailors return from the briny deep to have their payback for a terrible crime committed 100 years ago. Though a little flimsy in the story department, Carpenter and his crew float one of his most effective features on vibes and style alone. Listen for a real love letter to John Carpenter.
