I don't like horror movies for many reasons...mostly because I have a weak stomach. Interesting to read your take on this film and how it fits into the horror film genre, though.Kimberly J.M.

Gummy worms, great idea. Having worms on the theatre floor would be great, with people stepping and squishing and screaming.

It's harder than it looks. But bloodworms (which really are used for bait) are scary because they actually bite.<br /><br />Becky, you're thinking of the right film, because there's a great scene in SQUIRM of worms peeking out through a showerhead. However, there's not a scene with a tub full of worms. There is a WALL of worms, though!<br /><br />Rick, I can only imagine (fear?) what William Castle would have done for a gimmick with SQUIRM. Dropped worms on people in the theatre? Maybe just gummy worms at the concessions...sarkoffagushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922698736476674377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-61683882588839011182010-07-12T20:56:27.285-04:002010-07-12T20:56:27.285-04:00Sark, this sounds like a promising icky-yucky horr...Sark, this sounds like a promising icky-yucky horror film that defies the typical horror conventions. In other words, I think it's right up my alley! I'm quite fond of the suspense technique you described where the viewer sees something bad (the worm in the chocolate soda) and then becomes tense when a similar object is presented later (the milk). Sadly, I used to confuse this film with William Castle's BUG, which was made around the same time. I suppose they share a creepy crawlie element, but otherwise fire-starting cockroaches have little in common with people-eating worms.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-33063932904814591182010-07-12T16:16:50.637-04:002010-07-12T16:16:50.637-04:00This is a good one, Sark! I remember seeing "...This is a good one, Sark! I remember seeing "Squirm" very well! Although you wouldn't normally think of a worm as that scary, thousands of them are a different thing. Isn't this the one where the lady is in the shower and looks up and sees worms wriggling out of the shower head, then screams, then we see a bathtub full of worms with her apparently under them? I have to admit I wondered what the hell was wrong with her, that she didn't just jump out of the shower and run? Worms don't move that fast. But I enjoyed this movie, and I did like the little mannerisms, the scratching, etc., that made you grit your teeth and wait for a worm to burst out of the guy's skin. I'm a HUGE sci-fi/horror fan, and I like some of the odd ones the best. Squirm was done well, and left me watching the sidewalk to make sure I didn't step on one and squish its disgusting guts all over my shoes!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5344878851139332715.post-32471851193413294932010-07-12T14:44:39.672-04:002010-07-12T14:44:39.672-04:00Sark, SQUIRM .. sounds like a scary, fun, gross, f...Sark, SQUIRM .. sounds like a scary, fun, gross, film. When I need a good scare, I will pick it up. Next time I go fishing, you will have to bait my hook. I do not think I can look at another worm.. :PDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.com
