Welcome to a special Halloween episode of Never Did It, where Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler go back to check in on the state of horror movies in 1960. Brad assigns Jake Village of the Damned, a fast-moving, tension-filled, and surprisingly influential little movie from England. Directed by Wolf Rilla and starring the sweet sweet-voiced George Sanders, Jake and Brad extol the joys of watching a tightly paced movie with this interesting premise.
Jake gives Brad Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, a movie he's suitably embarrassed he'd never seen. They talk about its groundbreaking plotting, the movie you might not know it influenced, and Norman Bates's career. Happy Halloween!
Other movies discussed in this episode: Sabotage (1936), The Birds (1963), Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), The Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), Children of the Corn (1984), Alien 3 (1992), The Good Son (1993), Psycho (1998), Annihilation (2018).
