Dave Dreher, co-founder and lead news reporter for Gruesome Magazine and representative of Full Moon Features at horror conventions across middle America, joins the ‘70s Grue-Crew to add his knowledge of the film and Charles Band, some of which he gained through his one-on-one interactions. There are beaucoup vehicle crashes and explosions (seriously, good luck counting them), so the crew extends their discussion to stunt coordinator Von Deming and pyrotechnic expert Dynamite Three-Finger Harry Woolman. This fun mashup is a joy to view and discuss, so be sure to check out CRASH!, and please enjoy our talkabout! At the time of this writing, Crash! (1978) is available to stream from Full Moon Features, Tubi, and Prime. The film is also available on physical media from Full Moon Horror as a Blu-ray formatted disc. Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1970s is part of the Decades of Horror two-week rotation with The Classic Era and the 1980s. In two weeks, the next ‘70s episode, chosen by Chad, will be Dark August (1976), starring Kim Hunter. None of the Grue Crew has heard of this one, and that’s what they love: discovering new (to them) films!
