Ep 175 House

It’s time for more spooky real estate, as we turn our attention to “House” (that’s the film from the 80’s, not that TV series where floppy haired fop Hugh Laurie pretended he was tough and grumpy).
A film in which we learn that attractive neighbours may roll up and dump their mullet-headed sprog on you without a moment’s notice; that the kookaburra is native to Vietnam; and that Norm Peterson may have been driven to drink by his experiences inside next-door’s closet.
A bizarre horror comedy from the team that created the “Friday the 13th” franchise, this manages to be a practical effect rich knockabout romp that, somehow, also encompasses PTSD and child abduction. It went on to begat a variable series of unhinged sequels.
Watch (or re-watch) to avoid spoilers and join us.
