It dribbles into open wounds and cuts, and causes immediate infection. So don\u2019t let anybody bite you." That sounds like universally good advice! Join your faithful Grue Crew - Doc Rotten, Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, and Jeff Mohr - as they try to figure out the nature of the body horror David Cronenberg dreamt up in Rabid (1977)! Decades of Horror 1970s Episode 107 \u2013 Rabid (1977) A young woman develops a taste for human blood after experimental plastic surgery, and her victims turn into blood-thirsty zombies, leading into a city-wide epidemic. - IMDb   Writer\/Director: David Cronenberg Executive producer: Ivan Reitman Featured Cast Marilyn Chambers as Rose Frank Moore as Hart Read Joe Silver as Murray Cypher Howard Ryshpan as Dan Keloid Patricia Gage as Roxanne Keloid Susan Roman as Mindy Kent J. Roger Periard as Lloyd Walsh Lynne Deragon as Nurse Louise Terry Schonblum as Judy Glasberg Victor D\u00e9sy as Claude LaPointe As the entire Gruesome Nation already knows, the Soska sisters\u2019 version of Rabid is scheduled for release on December 13, 2019. With that in mind, your Decades of Horror 1970s Grue-Crew decided the time was right for them to cover Cronenberg\u2019s original version of Rabid, released in 1977.  Jeff is completely unaware that he manages to confuse Ivory Soap (9944\/100% pure) with Ivory Snow, \u201cthe safest possible soap for diapers and baby clothes\u201d that featured Marilyn Chambers on the box just prior to her career as a pornographic film actress. In his defense, they are both made by Proctor and Gamble and come from the same \u201cIvory\u201d line of products. Besides that, he loves Cronenberg\u2019s second feature film and finds the \u201cscience\u201d behind Rose\u2019s condition fascinating. The entire Grue-Crew first caught Rabid (1977) on an early-80s video store rental, ... except for Doc. He broke his Rabid cherry with a big-screen viewing, is thrilled with the results, and is impressed by Chambers\u2019 acting in the film. Bill identifies Rabid, the second of Cronenberg\u2019s films, as a sign of obvious growth and of bigger things to come. Chad talks about some of Cronenberg\u2019s later films and the entire Grue-Crew review Ivan Reitman\u2019s body of work as a producer.  Rabid (1977) receives a unanimous recommendation from the 70s Grue-Crew and each of them is also looking forward to the release of the Soska sisters\u2019 remake! At this writing, Rabid (1977) is available for streaming on Shudder and on Blu ray from Scream Factory. So listen to the podcast, watch Cronenberg\u2019s original, then go see the Soska sisters\u2019 remake. It\u2019ll be fun.
