Not many movies traumatized me as a kid, but Jeff Lieberman’s creepy-crawly 1976 flick Squirm definitely did. I actually used to dig up worms in my backyard, but after seeing that movie – I scaled back on the digging due to being fearful a bunch of worms would somehow burrow into my face.
Even though it creeped me out, Squirm holds a special place in my heart and I always loved that Mystery Science Theatre 3000 chose it as one of it’s movies to highlight. So it brings me great pleasure to announce that the amazing Scream Factory will be releasing Squirm on glorious Blu-ray some time in October! Now you get to watch those worms in hi-def awesomeness and probably will get some sweet bonus features and commentary too. Can’t help but think of this clip when I hear about worms btw……
