Eric & Ser are back for SEASON 6!  All scary things "F"!   And they like their horror like they like their breakfast... Shadyside up!  We check out the first film of what was supposed to be a trilogy but seems to have found life beyond.  Just like Sarah Fier.  Wow.  I just got the connection (Fier... Fear).  Just now.  As I was writing this.  (It's been a long summer.)

The late 1970s/early 80s were a fabulous time for escapism.  Whether it was to Witch Mountain, from Alcatraz, or from the band Journey.  Or whether you were just escaping "the greasies" with Agree.  Eric & Ser hope you agree that this movie is the true Great Escape.
