Disc Dispatch: SQUIRM (1976)
by Rosalie Kicks, Old Sport and Editor in Chief
Part of me was equally grossed out and fascinated with being able to hear every worm squiggling and wiggling on screen. I hated but also loved when they were pouring out of the shower head onto their unsuspecting victim. This was actual nightmare fuel to me.

I love this flick! It’s like Hello Mary Lou: Prom Night II as an episode of Murder, She Wrote by way of Sir R.L. Stine with the perfect cast!
