ABOUT THIS EPISODE
'Tis the season for scares, and our Trauma Boxers are going gory this month in celebration of the Hallows and their eve. We're kicking off the spooks with a long-time favorite VHS box: CARNOSAUR. This 1993 jammer is Roger Corman's attempt to siphon off some of the tremendous juice that Jurassic Park was generating. But outside of the dinos and the presence of Laura Dern's mother Diane Ladd, the similarities are scant - Carnosaur is a deeply nihilistic flick, paranoid and punishing. We also talk fried chicken, Jeff Goldbum, and the shape of Clint Howard's head. Tune in on Apple Podcasts, Spotify. etc.

Giallo-horror master Lucio Fulci makes a visit to the Trauma Box with his 1984 headscratcher Murder Rock.
