Today we carry our family trauma in a wicker basket in Basket Case. We discuss the now iconic bulbous design for Belial, the wonderfully enriching sleezy New York grunge over the entire X rated film, and this families deranged revenge plans past and present. This is a little Messed Up Movie that has withstood the test of time to become a true cult classic in the horror genre. Howl at the Moon and join us this wild ride.  Synopsis: A young man carrying a big basket that contains his extremely deformed, formerly conjoined twin brother seeks vengeance on the doctors who separated them against their will.
