Summary
This week on the Nightmare on Film Street horror movie podcast, Kimmi and Jon are packing their bags and heading to Haiti for a look at Wes Craven's The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988), a wild tale of voodoo, zombies, and seriously dope nightmare sequences. In this underseen gem, anthropologist Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) just wanted to research a mysterious zombie drug, but instead, he found himself in a whole mess of cursed cocktails and coffin trauma. And also ...scrote horror....?
Part one of our "Evil Abroad" double feature, The Serpent and the Rainbow taps into the haunting folklore of voodoo and the blurred line between science and superstition. We’re diving into the surreal, ssserpent-filled magic that made this one of Wes Craven’s weirdest, most unique films. But is it a misunderstood classic, or just a bizarre nightmare that’s too wild to forget?
Grab your passport and join Kimmi and Jon for an unsettling adventure into the unknown, filled with curses, coffins, and Craven chaos. Join ussss…
