A Rat in the hand is worth two in the bush - RAT SCRATCH FEVER w/Fright Club

In this chaotic and hilarious episode, we dive into the absurd world of "Rat Scratch Fever," a film that combines sci-fi horror with an outrageous premise involving giant rats and a contagion that spreads through human hosts. Our hosts, grappling with the realities of life, discuss the film's wild narrative, which sees a crew of astronauts returning from Planet X only to unleash an army of monstrous rodents upon Los Angeles.

As the episode unfolds, we explore the bizarre character of Dr. Steele, played by a memorable actor known for his outrageous roles, and the film's unique blend of practical effects and miniature sets that create a truly unforgettable viewing experience. From the sheer ambition of the filmmakers to the outrageous moments that leave you both laughing and cringing, "Rat Scratch Fever" is a testament to the schlocky charm of low-budget cinema.

We also have a special call-in interview with Helen from the BlueSky Watch Party "Fright Club" https://bsky.app/profile/frightya.bsky.social
