Are we starting to sense a theme? Anaconda and Little Shop of Horrors had a lot in common — and now Little Shop is the perfect segue into our next film. On this week’s Spooky Tuesday, we’re throwing it back to the ‘70s with Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978), and space flowers are once again super relevant. But invading aliens aren’t the only thing this flick has going for it. Famously one of the best remakes of all time (and often considered even better than the ’56 original), this movie has an incredible cast, gorgeous opening credits, classic art history allusions, and some seriously sizzling sexual chemistry. Oh, and it also has Jeff Goldblum taking a mud bath — what else could you possibly want?
