So, out of curiosity I looked up what albums came out in 1989 (the year The Burbs came out), and it was an incredible year for music. Nirvana released Bleach, The Cure released Disintegration, Pixies released Doolittle, and The Replacements released Don't Tell a Soul. Hinkley Hills would be...

So, someone may have mentioned this before, but I've just gotten into watching American Dad (because I'm a 75-year-old in a millenial's body), and there was an actual shout-out to The 'Burbs in one episode! I knew Seth MacFarlane cast Wendy Schall as Francine because he's such a big fan of the...

Does anyone have any opinions on what the characters would be reading? I ask as a recovering lit major. :D Rumsfield would be a voracious reader of military nonfiction and bios, natch, but I like to think he harbors a secret love of romance novels (he swipes Bonnie's and she pretends she...

So, in transferring my documents from crappy old computer to shiny new computer, I found this thing I wrote a few years ago and had all but forgotten about. I rewrote The 'Burbs as a Victorian/pseudo-Dickensian novel (way shorter than anything he wrote, thankfully) in eight installments. I'm...

Hey, guys! As some of you know, I have a BA in Literature, which means I spent 4 years gleefully tearing apart things I love and love still. This has bled over from books to movies, and I was just wondering, does anyone here have any criticisms of the film? We all love it, but that doesn't mean...

So, am I the only one who thinks The 'Burbs could be easily genre-bent into a Southern Gothic piece? I've come to realize that as well as having a lot in common with Victorian literature, it also has (maybe even more) stuff in common with the Southern Gothic genre...dysfunctional families...

Since we all seem to be a bunch of horror dorks on this site, I was just wondering: what are your must-watch Halloween (or just plain old spooky, if you're in a part of the world that tragically doesn't celebrate the most magical of holidays) movies? Mine are Halloween (the original), The Rocky...

So, I don't know how I've only just seen this movie, but I just watched Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs, and I absolutely loved it. Definitely going to add it to my 'Burbs movie marathon list (along with The Lost Boys). Has anyone here seen it?

I think mine are (in no particular order)... 1) Led Zeppelin 2) Bon Iver 3) The Smiths 4) Tori Amos 5) The Indigo Girls 6) Fleetwood Mac 7) Mumford and Sons How about you guys?

Okay, so I've noticed a lot of synopses of the movie online have labeled the Klopeks as cannibals...but other than Art's accusation of such, I never really saw any evidence to point to cannibalism in the movie (I mean, it's not like that furnace was exactly a pizza oven). I just wanted to know...

Hi, everyone! As some of you know, I run a Tumblr dedicated to The 'Burbs. Along with reblogging fanart, screencaps, etc., I sometimes post some of my own work, and yesterday, I posted a short(ish) essay on the film. I thought a link to it would be appreciated here. :) I hope you enjoy it!
