On this week’s episode of Decayed Tapes, we’re talking about David A. Prior’s SLEDGEHAMMER from 1983, the very first SOV horror movie released straight-to-video. A two-roomed slasher that gets creative with seances and spooooky ghost shenanigans? Sign us up! Just please, for the love of god, prepare yourselves for an atrocity of slow-motion editing effects. Also: which one of us once destroyed an entire couch with a sledgehammer so it’d fit into their trash cans? Tune in and find out!
