Squirm

Cult director Jeff Lieberman’s debut is a nature-strikes-back nightmare of wriggling horror in which a sleepy backwoods Georgia town is inundated with millions of bloodthirsty creatures oozing out of the mire to feed on human flesh! Rick Baker makeup effects, jaw-dropping worm photography and authentic folksy charm solidly nail Squirm into the gilded pantheon of drive-in horror history.

“Far better and more interesting than the obvious schlock appeal its plot would suggest… [Squirm] is slyly entertaining stuff.” – Time Out

Bug (1975)

A massive earth tremor opens a deep crevasse in the California dessert, releasing a bizarre and deadly breed of foot-long cockroaches which threaten to destroy the city of Riverside before spreading across the country. Entomologist Bradford Dillman tried to find a way to deal with these virtually indestructible creatures. The roaches also seem to have a high intelligence which makes Dillman’s task nearly hopeless. This is a creepy crawler right out of the worst nightmare! (Paramount)
