This Week in Horror History | Sleepaway Camp, Sleepy Hollow & Salem’s Lot
Step into late November with This Week in Horror History, the horror podcast that digs into the spooky anniversaries hiding between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In this episode, we dive into a full week of genre milestones for November 18–25, from cult slashers and gothic ghost stories to Stephen King adaptations, survival horror gaming, and a haunting cannibal romance.
We kick things off at summer camp with Sleepaway Camp (1983), the infamous 1980s slasher movie whose shocking final twist made it a cult legend on VHS and a must-watch for every serious horror fan. Then we ride into the fog with Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow (1999), a stylish gothic horror film packed with headless-horseman mayhem, Hammer Horror vibes, and one of Johnny Depp’s most beloved spooky roles.
From there, we lock the supermarket doors and let The Mist (2007) roll in. This Stephen King horror movie traps terrified townspeople in a grocery store surrounded by Lovecraftian monsters and religious hysteria, building to one of the bleakest endings in modern horror cinema. We also pick up a controller for Condemned: Criminal Origins (2005), a grim Xbox 360 survival horror game that turned a next-gen console launch into a nightmare of crime scenes, jump scares, and first-person brutality.
Our Deep-Cut Spotlight sinks its teeth into Salem’s Lot (1979), Tobe Hooper’s terrifying Stephen King TV miniseriesthat made an entire generation afraid to look out their bedroom windows. We talk small-town dread, the iconic window-scratch scene, and how this vampire story helped shape everything from Fright Night to Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Midnight Mass.
Along the way, we roll through horror birthdays (including icons connected to The Silence of the Lambs, The Thing, and indie horror favorites), revisit the legacy of Universal’s Frankenstein in a Then & Now segment, and close with a Weekly Recommendation: Luca Guadagnino’s Bones and All (2022), a melancholic cannibal road movie that plays like a twisted, emotional Thanksgiving watch.
If you love horror history, Stephen King adaptations, Tim Burton gothic horror, 80s slasher movies, Thanksgiving horror, and deep dives into cult classics, this episode is your cozy, creepy guide to late-November genre viewing.

00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:04.960
Late November is a weird time for horror. Jack o'
2
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.720
lanterns are collapsing in the yard, Christmas lights are half hung,
3
00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:14.839
and the genre is busy sneaking in some of its strangest,
4
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:21.280
moodiest releases while everybody else is thinking about turkeys and shopping.
5
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.640
This week in horror History, we're pitching our tent at
6
00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.199
the edge of the holidays, a summer camp shocker with
7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.600
an all timer twist, a gothic decapitation fest from Tim Burton,
8
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:40.039
a supermarket siege full of cosmic despair, and a small
9
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.920
main town that quietly grew fangs on network television. If
10
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.719
you like your comfort movies with a side of existential dread,
11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:01:03.240
well here in the right place. This week in horror History,
12
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:06.760
for the week of November eighteenth through twenty fifth, I'm
13
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.799
Enrique Kuto, your tour guide through the anniversary's oddities and
14
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.879
deep cuts that built the creepy calendar we live by.
15
00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:21.879
On today's tour will mark the theatrical birthday of sleep
16
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:27.280
Away Camp. Revisit Sleepy Hollow's fog drenched headless horsemen and
17
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:32.000
watch the mist roll into theaters. Then we'll talk about
18
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.719
a cult classic launch title that turned the Xbox three
19
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:40.560
sixty into a crime scene simulator. And after the break,
20
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:45.400
we'll dive into Toby Hooper's Salem's Lot, the mini series
21
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:50.799
that made an entire generation afraid of their own bedroom windows.
22
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:59.400
November eighteenth, nineteen eighty three, sleep Away Camp slashes its
23
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.439
way into theaters. New York audiences get first blood as
24
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:09.360
Robert Hiltzick's low budget slasher sleep Away Camp opens and
25
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:13.919
tries to ride the post Friday the Thirteenth wave, which
26
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:18.960
was riding the post Halloween wave. On paper, it's another
27
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.039
camp set body Count movie. In practice, it leans into
28
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:27.400
grubby detail and one of the most infamous final shots
29
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:31.680
in horror history. And if you don't know, you need
30
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:36.800
to find out. It crawled onto VHS, then into midnight
31
00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:40.439
movie Cannon, and now it's a staple of the wait
32
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:46.199
you've never seen this lists and debates And I want
33
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:49.479
to say I went into sleep Away Camp completely and
34
00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:53.919
utterly blind. I had heard, like crazy, this is gonna
35
00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:58.159
set my age a bit on MySpace about how awesome
36
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.240
this box set for sleep Away Camp was. I'd never
37
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.520
heard of the movies beyond seeing the box covers in
38
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:07.479
video stores, so I went out and bought the sleep
39
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.039
Away Camp Survival Kit, which was a three disc set
40
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:14.439
from Anchor Bay. It was awesome, had lots of extras,
41
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:16.840
and it came in a box that looked like a
42
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:20.800
first aid kit. And actually that initial box got recalled
43
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:24.400
because they used a Red Cross on it, and ironically enough,
44
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:27.800
the Red Cross filed a cease and desist because I
45
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:32.840
guess they own that iconography. But I had no idea
46
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.120
what I was in for. And not only was sleep
47
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:39.439
Away Camp one pretty freakin' awesome, but I am a
48
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:43.439
massive supporter of the sequels as well. If you want
49
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:49.759
to revisit or finally witness that ending, it's free with
50
00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.719
Prime right now on Amazon, or you can watch it
51
00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.000
on Peacock with a subscription, or you can see it
52
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.960
completely and utterly free on places like to b pleaqu
53
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.680
and Pluto TV. At least as of the recording of
54
00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.599
the show, there's no four K release of the original
55
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:10.719
yet on physical media, so you'll have to stick to
56
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.800
a standard Blu ray. But I've been enjoying very much
57
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:22.399
by four KUHD copies of the sequels. November nineteenth, nineteen
58
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:28.319
ninety nine. Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow gallops into cinemas Paramount
59
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:32.279
drops Sleepy Hollow in the pre Thanksgiving slot, giving Tim
60
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.879
Burton the keys to Washington Irving's Headless Horseman and letting
61
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.920
him shoot a hammer horror love letter on a studio budget.
62
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:45.199
The result is fog and blood and more severed heads
63
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:47.920
than you can shake a stick at. Although I don't
64
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.839
know why you'd want to anchored by Johnny Depp playing
65
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:57.160
Ichabod Crane as a fussy proto forensic nerd, and actually,
66
00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.680
while it does borrow a lot from hammer horle horror films,
67
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.600
I think it borrows even more, at least in the
68
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.319
depiction of Ichabod Crane from nineteen eighty five's Fright Night,
69
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:12.600
directed by Tom Holland, not Spider Man, the Child's Play.
70
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:15.439
Tom Holland a vampire film I have a great deal
71
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:17.920
of fondness for because there's a character in there named
72
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:22.879
Peter Vincent, who is a vampire hunter in movies and
73
00:05:22.959 --> 00:05:26.480
hosts horror movies on television, who ends up becoming a
74
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:31.360
real life vampire hunter, albeit very very reluctantly, and a
75
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:35.720
lot of his mannerisms and reaction to the situation. Really,
76
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:39.319
I think Depp at the very least watched Fright Night
77
00:05:39.360 --> 00:05:41.879
a couple of times, you know, had a Blockbuster night
78
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:45.000
and got some inspiration. If you're in the mood for
79
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:50.120
autumn vibes long after Halloween ends, It's free on Pluto TV,
80
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:52.600
or you can rent or buy it digitally on the
81
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.920
usual suspects like Prime Video, Apple TV, or you could
82
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:01.519
even spin that long standing paramount Blu Raye. I'm due
83
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:04.839
for a revisit of Sleepy Hollow. Hey, Dave, if you're listening,
84
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:13.240
bring it over. November twenty one, two thousand and seven,
85
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:19.600
The Mist blankets theaters. Huh boy, talk about another shock ending.
86
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:24.120
Frank Derabant, the guy who turned the Shawshank Redemption into
87
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:28.800
a comfort movie, adapts Stephen King's novella The Mist and
88
00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:34.079
delivers Pure Despair. Derabant would later go on to massive
89
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.720
success as one of the showrunners for the long running
90
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:42.120
Walking Dead. The film follows a main supermarket full of
91
00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:45.879
ordinary people in a kind of love crafty and fog,
92
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:51.319
then watches their fear mutate into religion, mob rule, and
93
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.800
one of the bleakest endings in mainstream horror, if not
94
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:59.560
all the way through the genre, it didn't blow the
95
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:03.959
doors off the box office, but its reputation has only grown,
96
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:08.800
especially in light of that gut punch final scene. Currently,
97
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.839
you can stream The Mist on platforms like Peacock and
98
00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:16.519
Paramount Plus, or grab the Blu ray that includes Darabot's
99
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:20.600
preferred black and white cut that makes it feel like
100
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:27.759
a lost nineteen fifties horror movie. November twenty second, two
101
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:33.959
thousand and five, Condemned Criminal Origins launches with Xbox three sixty.
102
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.800
When Microsoft rolls out the Xbox three sixty, one of
103
00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:41.439
its launch titles is a filthy little first person horror
104
00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:46.839
game from Monolith called Condemned Criminal Origins. You play an
105
00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:53.279
FBI investigator chasing a serial killer through rotting apartments, abandoned malls,
106
00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:57.399
and subway tunnels, doing more forensic work with a lead
107
00:07:57.480 --> 00:08:01.720
pipe than with a lab. It's focus on melee combat,
108
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:06.120
forensic puzzles, and sheer grime made it a cult classic
109
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:09.759
and a formative I really shouldn't be playing this at
110
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:14.800
two am experience. Physical copies still trade hands, but in
111
00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:19.160
a very twoenty twenty five twist, the game has been
112
00:08:19.800 --> 00:08:26.120
delisted from major digital storefronts, sparking rumors and wishful thinking
113
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:32.080
about a possible remaster. I want to take a quick
114
00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:35.960
moment to thank save Arista Coffee for sponsoring this episode
115
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:39.240

116
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:43.240
bold flavor of coffee, but sometimes you just can't handle
117
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.960
another cop After ten pm, while you're binge watching the
118
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:50.559
entire four K collection of Nightmare on Elm Street, well
119
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.120

Huge thank you to save Aresta dot com for their support.
130
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:31.559
After the break, we're driving up to Salem's Lot, where
131
00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:36.080
the real estate is cheap and the vampires well they're plentiful.
132
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:54.279
Now that we're back, let's talk about a mini series
133
00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:58.960
that permanently ruined the idea of looking out your bedroom
134
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:03.799
window at especially if you live on the second floor.
135
00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:09.159
Our deep cut Spotlight this Week lands on Salem's Lot,
136
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:13.639
the nineteen seventy nine CBS mini series that proved you
137
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:20.159
could sneak genuinely terrifying vampire horror onto network television. For
138
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:25.639
those uninitiated, there were several very famous examples of TV
139
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:31.159
made horror films in the seventies that emotionally and psychologically
140
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:35.480
scarred an entire generation. Dark Knight of the Scarecrow comes
141
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:38.440
to mind that might have been the early eighties, and
142
00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.399
another one that's really famous is the Trilogy of Terror.
143
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.360
Basically anything Dan Curtis touched It Turned to Gold if
144
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:51.360
You're a Psychiatrist. Directed by Toby Hooper, who had directed
145
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:55.559
Texas Chainsaw Massacre just a few years earlier, and based
146
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:59.840
on Stephen King's nineteen seventy five novel, it aired over
147
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:05.279
two nights November seventeenth and twenty fourth, which puts the
148
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:10.000
second half squarely in This Week in Horror history. Instead
149
00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:14.639
of a suave, talkative Dracula type, Hooper and Company gave
150
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:19.639
us Kurt Barlow as a chalk skinned rat, toothed no
151
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:25.039
speratu who never speaks, just hisses and lunges out of
152
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:28.080
the dark. And don't get me started on the eyes.
153
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:32.200
The contact lenses were mortifying, even before you remember that
154
00:11:32.320 --> 00:11:35.000
this is the seventies, so those lenses in his eyes
155
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.840
were made of glass. The setup is simple. Writer Ben
156
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:44.440
Mears returns to his hometown of Jerusalem's Lot to work
157
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:49.000
through a childhood trauma involving the creepy Marston House on
158
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.960
the Hill, only to find that a mysterious antiques dealer
159
00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.480
and his unseen partner have moved in and the locals
160
00:11:57.879 --> 00:12:01.559
are starting to look up a little pale, even for
161
00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:06.039
New England. What makes Salem's Lot special isn't just the plot,
162
00:12:06.120 --> 00:12:10.159
but the way it weaponizes every day small town life.
163
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:17.320
Gossiping neighbors, bored kids, a local priest, all slowly swallowed
164
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:23.080
by an infection nobody wants to name. Visually, it's pure
165
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:28.759
late seventies comfort, horror, paneled walls, boxy cars, blue tinted night.
166
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:33.759
But Hooper keeps dropping images that feel like urban legends
167
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:38.080
come to life. The often referenced glick boy tapping on
168
00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:41.799
the window, the corpse that sits up on the Morgue table,
169
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.279
that Antler impalement at the Marston House. It's no wonder.
170
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:50.879
Later creators of vampire stories, from the aforementioned Fright Night
171
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:55.759
to Buffy to Midnight Mass have cited Salem's Lot as
172
00:12:55.799 --> 00:12:59.840
a major influence. If you've only ever heard about it, Well,
173
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:03.679
we have some moderately good news. It's still available, but
174
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.200
you'll have to rent it on your preferred service like
175
00:13:06.279 --> 00:13:10.360
Prime Video, Apple TV, wherever you rent your movies. There's
176
00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.039
also a very solid Blu Ray addition in circulation. I
177
00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:17.519
have it, and it's pretty cool. It is a very
178
00:13:17.559 --> 00:13:20.960
long movie. They put them together instead of presenting it
179
00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:24.159
as a mini series, although it feels like a two
180
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.519
part mini series. I guess that. Okay, I'll shut up.
181
00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.480
That is a very mini series, I suppose, but heed
182
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:38.159
my suggestion. Maybe don't watch it right before bed, especially
183
00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:43.440
if your bedroom window doesn't have curtains made of garlic
184
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:47.200
and holy water. Okay, I don't know how you'd make
185
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:51.320
curtains out of holy water, but I mean science has
186
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:57.600
come a long way since seventy nine, right, right, let's
187
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:02.399
light some candles black ones, obviously, for this week's birthday
188
00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:07.840
role November eighteenth, nineteen sixty two. Kurt Hammett is born.
189
00:14:08.440 --> 00:14:12.039
Metallica's lead guitarist, is also one of the world's most
190
00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:17.480
famous classic horror collectors, with a museum worthy stash of
191
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:21.440
posters and props and the coffee table book too much
192
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:27.840
Horror Business to prove it. November nineteenth, nineteen sixty two.
193
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:31.759
Jody Foster was born, an all time great who gave
194
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:37.080
us one of horror's most iconic final girls as Clarice
195
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:41.360
Starling in the Silence of the Lambs. Also, I want
196
00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:44.440
to mention this is one of those examples, a very
197
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.440
early perfect example of a film being a horror movie,
198
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.639
but then people trying to kind of scoot it under
199
00:14:51.679 --> 00:14:55.000
the rug as, oh, well it's a thriller. Well, sure
200
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.279
it's a thriller, but it has a guy biting somebody's
201
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.200
nose off. I think it's a horror movie. So just
202
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.639
hand over the oscar and let's stop arguing about semantics. Yes,
203
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:10.919
I'm aware, I'm in a room alone. November twentieth, nineteen
204
00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.440
forty eight. Richard Maser. Genre fans know him as Clark
205
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:20.399
the dog Handler and John Carpenter's The Thing and as
206
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:25.399
an adult stan URIs in the nineteen ninety IT mini series,
207
00:15:25.879 --> 00:15:29.639
and I can't wait to talk about the thing when
208
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:37.639
the time comes. Four are then, and now we're raising
209
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:43.080
a glass or maybe a lightning rod to Frankenstein. On
210
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.519
November twenty first, nineteen thirty one, Universal officially released James
211
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:53.960
Wales Frankenstein in the United States, cementing Boris Karloff's flat
212
00:15:54.000 --> 00:16:04.600
topped creature. And of course this moment I want to mention.
213
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.320
When I was trying to find that sound effect for
214
00:16:07.399 --> 00:16:11.600
the show, everything I found was from young Frankenstein and
215
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:14.799
not the original, So that goes to show you how
216
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:19.159
iconic moments can morph and evolve in the zeitgeist. I
217
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:24.240
guess it's only seventy minutes long, but between the lab equipment,
218
00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.120
the little girl at the lake, and the burning windmill,
219
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:31.919
it pretty much wrote the visual language of Mad Scientist
220
00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:35.320
horror as it would come to be known. Fast forward
221
00:16:35.360 --> 00:16:39.200
to right now, and Frankenstein is back in the conversation
222
00:16:39.399 --> 00:16:43.759
thanks to Guermo Del Toro's new adaptation, rolling out theatrically
223
00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.120
in the fall and hitting Netflix in early November. It's
224
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.480
actually available right now, and I'm ashamed to say I
225
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.679
haven't had a chance to sit down and watch it yet.
226
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:56.879
Del Toro is leaning closer to Mary Shelley's novel, but
227
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.759
he's also openly paying homage to the nineteen thirty one
228
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.640
film that first terrified him as a kid. It's a
229
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:09.000
pretty cool full circle moment. Ninety plus years after that
230
00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:14.400
original November release, the same stitched together myth is still
231
00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:21.799
being jolted back to life for a new generation. And
232
00:17:21.880 --> 00:17:24.440
of course, as we wrap up this week's episode, I
233
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:28.039
have to give you my weekly recommendation, and this one's
234
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.880
a little more recent. It's Bones and All from twenty
235
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:37.960
twenty two. Luca Guadagnino's melancholy Cannibal Road movie, which opened
236
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.720
wide in the US on November eighteenth, twenty twenty two,
237
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.640
is set against the wide open Midwest in the nineteen eighties.
238
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:51.119
It follows two young eaters as they become known, who
1
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:04.960
2
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.720

00:00:10.199 --> 00:00:14.839

00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.640

00:00:25.640 --> 00:00:29.199
7
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:34.600
8
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:40.039

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.920
10
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.719

00:00:50.119 --> 00:01:03.240
