05/09/2010 @ 6pm - 7pm: How B Grade Movies Saved (or Ruined) My Life
We've done puppets and dolls, now we move onto their owners... Evil little children, well for the most part they are anyways. You can have your ghosts and demons, these kids make them look second rate and it's all because these kids bring realism with them. All you have to do is go for a walk in shopping centre on Saturday afternoon and you can witness potential psycho children in the making, I kid you not. But to save you time and trouble we have picked out a good selection to talk about and the challenges are Mikey (1992) & The Twilight Zone Movie (1983), so make sure you tune in!
