phase of the vintage episodes,

and I'm really excited about it.

The episodes we are revisiting now have not been anthologized,

and many have been off the podcast feed and unable to purchase.

So you might run across some stuff that's new to you.

Today's story inspired a film starring Charlton Heston called Marabunta.

I worked on a movie of the week with the same premise back in 1998. A swarm of monster ants

invaded a small town. It was back when all those disaster movies were going on. I was the

set decorator. I was 23.

The movie was so bad, you can't even find it now.

I don't even what they wound up calling it,

because they couldn't get the rights for Maribunta.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy today's story.
