Trapped (1982)

This week we honor the late, great Henry Silva with a discussion of one of the few movies in which he had a leading role, William Fruet's Trapped, aka Baker County USA. We delve into Silva's career, what made him so charismatic, and lightly touch on the hicksploitation subgenre and what is so terrifying about it.

Also mentioned in the episode is a series of Mexican horror films playing at the Academy Museum in October, curated by former guest Abraham Castillo Flores. Tickets here: https://www.academymuseum.org/en/programs/series/mexico-maleficarum-resurrecting-20th-century-mexican-horror-cinema
