Single Serving Slashers Appreciation Month - ”Rituals”

October is upon us and we here at Cinema Degeneration thought it was time for another Appreciation Month topic!  We bring to you a celebration of 'Single Serving Slashers', slasher movies that never got a sequel.  There are plenty of chapters in the sagas of Chucky, Jason, and Freddy; however, we wanted to honor those often overlooked slashers that only graced the screen in one thrilling film.  We are starting off the adventures with the unique Canadian thriller "RITUALS" from 1977, starring Hal Holbrook and Lawrence Dane (who also served as the film's producer).  This harrowing tale follows a group of doctors/friends who go off into the rocky Canadian wilderness and end up being stalked and killed off one by one by a disfigured killer lurking in the shadows.  Join Cameron Scott and guest host Tim O'Saben (Synapse Films Podcast) as they discuss this hidden gem and go off on rants from everything from 'The Fog' to 'Friday the 13th Part 2'.  This flick just goes to prove that sometimes if you go into the woods you'll be in for a BIG surprise.   "Well, there's worse things in life than powdered milk, I suppose."
