Posted in Dead Air Podcast, Updates with tags , , , , , , , on September 13, 2019 by splatterpictures

The things that haunt you are about to begin all over again.

Ep 161 of Dead Air is here to close out this years Stephen Kingapalooza with the seldom talked about 1991 film; Sometimes They Come Back.

Jim Norman is a teacher with a troubled past. As a kid, a typical day of two young brothers ended in tragedy and death. His older brother was killed along with a group of bullies on a railway track.

Now decades later, he’s returned to his hometown and is immediately haunted by intense flashbacks of the event. Worst yet, it seems like the students in his glass are dropping dead.

Stranger still is the fact that new students are replacing the deceased from out of town. Each one eerily resembling one of the dead bullies.

Is Jim imagining things? Or, can the dead, really come back?

There’s something in the mist!

It’s Stephen Kingapalooza, 2019! Our first film in this block of King adaptations is none other than the 2007 classic; The Mist

After a terrible storm David Drayton takes his son Billy to the local supermarket. Trailing behind them from over the lake is a mysterious and thick mist that is coming from the mountains.

Once at the market the mist envelopes the town and with it comes death, paranoia and mayhem.

As the dark and deadly monsters siege the store it becomes obvious that the danger is not only outside, but, within. Tensions and religious beliefs flare. Is this the reckoning? Or is the secret military experiments within the area to blame for the apocalyptic horrors that are hiding in the mist?
