ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Episode 201 | The Spiral Staircase (1946)

For this month's Patreon's Choice Episode, we are talking all about The Spiral Staircase from 1946. This is the oldest movie we've covered on The Cherry Picker, and we were both surprised to see how influential it was on many popular slasher films. The horror genre owes a lot to this movie, and we were happy to have our supporters nominate and vote for this one. Also, as always, we've picked out the most loathsome characters from the film, so join us at the end of the episode in voting for which one was the most deserving to die.

If you would like to join our livestream recordings for The Cherry Picker, we would be thrilled to have you with us. Check out Zack's Patreon (Link below) to take part.
