Day 11: The Fly (1986) - 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2026

 31 Days of HELL-O-Ween 2026:
The Fly (1986)

Oh, look color!  We've moved on from the Universal Classics and into something more modern.  Um, "Modern" being a relative term, of course.  In this case, it is David Cronenberg's "The Fly" (1986).  Originally, the word balloon was gonna have a shotgun in it, but that seemed a little too dark for my happy-go-lucky Blog.  Granted, my sense of humor can run Vantablack, but I decided to dial it back a little for this one just for y'all.

Anyhoo, 80's horror is in a class all its own and I grew up with a steady diet of it as a youngster.  As always, there was a moral panic that watching such monster movies would warp ones morality and look how normal I turned out!  (Wait, does "normal" need scare quotes in that context?)  It is also peak Cronenberg body horror.

Here's an Animated .GIF of The Fly.  The David Cronenberg one, that is:
