Frogs (1972), George McCowan | Horror Movie Club Review | S02E20
from Spooky Frog Horrifying Books Podcast · host spookyfrogpodcast
Forget the prince, this episode dives into the 1972 eco-horror cult classic Frogs, a swampy southern gothic nightmare where Mother Nature fights back against a wealthy family’s pollution. Between eerie bullfrog choruses, inventive kills (including strangling Spanish moss) and a menagerie of reptiles reclaiming a poisoned greenhouse, the film is equal parts atmospheric and ridiculous. The hosts riff on Sam Elliott’s youthful look, 70s nature-revenge trends, the film’s phobias (herpetophobia, arachnophobia), and why eco-horror reflects societal anxieties. Expect glorious schlock, ick-inducing creature moments, and a celebration of campy, environmental revenge cinema.
