The Burbs. Dir. Joe Dante. 1989.
In a way, â80s Tom Hanks was the gangly alpha and omega of Satanic Panic. In â82 he starred in Mazes & Monsters, which was loosely based on events that triggered that national fever dream. Then just a few years later The âBurbs taught us our neighbors arenât necessarily secret Satanists- they might be run-of-the-mill serial killers.
Tom Hanks crushing beer cans will ALWAYS be the perfect expression of impotent rage.
âI hate cul-de-sacs. There's only one way out, and the people are weird.â - Vic the Garbageman
