The Frighteners (1996)

from Die Laughing · host The Die Laughing Podcast

Peter Jackson's 1996 horror-comedy is a wild romp, that follows paranormal grifter, Frank Bannister, (Michael J. Fox in his final leading-man film role) as he battles a murderous ghost who is crushing the hearts of the townspeople of Fairwater, California. Add in what might be the most deliciously over-the-top performance in cinema history, delivered by Jeffrey Combs, and you've got a film that will be remembered for far more than just being Peter Jackson's last film before changing Middle-earth forever.Hosts: Bart Shannon, Lindsey RobertsGuest: Brandon SamsMusic provided by MKE.
