Anyone remember this one about man-eating radioactive worms? I remember watching this as a kid getting freaked out by the guy with the worms in his face. I saw it was on Prime and decided to revisit it. There is just something so fun and campy about it. 70's creature features didn't take themselves seriously. I might watch Frogs next.

I love Frogs!
One of my favorites.
Squirm is creepy with the worms dragging the guy up the stairs.

I remember seeing it on Mystery Science Theater 3000 like 15 years ago.

It's a pretty good entry in the Nature vs Man sub-genre of horror. Some decent shock scenes and very creepy.

I used to watch it as a kid in the late 70's/early 80's when they used to show it quite regularly on WPIX out of New York.
Cheap but pretty creepy.

Back in the days when late night cable tv was pretty awesome. I ran across some pretty good stuff back in the early 80's when I emigrated and my family got cable. Squirm was one such gem.

JUST BEFORE DAWN is by the same director. Has George Kennedy talking to a plant. I liked the twist in the story.

Hadn't heard of it. That pic there does seem terrifying now, especially today with all the cases with flesh eating bacteria, guinea worm, and bot flies.

I enjoyed the director’s other films (Blue Sunshine, Just Before Dawn, Remote Control & Satan’s Little Helper), but I just couldn’t get into this one. Outside of a few shock moments.
‘Frogs’ was good fun though.
For slithering, and slimy horror... ‘Slugs’ is a blast.

Updating to report the MST3K episode of Squirm is on YouTube and it is totally worth a watch 😂
