I been dropping posts alluding to the film "SQUIRM" for a bit. It's because I saw it on cable, along with SSSSSSS... And FOOD of the GODS,(by Mr. B.I.G.) onSaterday along with it on a muggy afternoon.And SQUIRM IS A COOL SHOW. PLEASE...BRING BACK TRIPLE FEATURES!
What's not to love about giant electric mutant worms?
They bite!!

I bought SQUIRM on DVD a while back. It's a necessary part of anyone's "the animal kingdom goes wild" collection. I have copies of the following movies in this genre - - maybe I'll watch them in a weekend-long marathon in the near future:
* SQUIRM
* BUG
* FROGS
* NIGHT OF THE LEPUS
* DAY OF THE ANIMALS
* PIRANHA
* ANACONDA
* THE BIRDS (certainly the best of this lot by a WIDE margin)
* SWARMED (not to be confused with THE SWARM)
* EMPIRE OF THE ANTS
* PROPHECY (not to be confused with the Christopher Walken flick)
And there are probably a few sitting on my shelves that I forgot about, but I think the above list would make a FINE movie marathon.
This movie creeped me out as a kid. I wasn't comfortable in a shower for years
