Outro:   “I’m Eighteen” – Alice Cooper

NECRO 135 BLACK PHONE

Jeff and Mike talk about the brand new Blumhouse film Black Phone.  Based on the Joe Hill short story and set in the 1980’s, will this be a fright-filled extravaganza, just another nostalgia-centric cash-in or something in-between?  Tune in and find out!
