Thank you for joining us in the crypt. This time, Becky from “I Have a Strange Story” joins us to talk about 1977’s movie Rabid. It stars Marilyn Chambers, Frank Moore, Joe Silver, and Howard Ryshpan.

Rabid was written and directed by David Cronenberg and was filmed in Canada. Cronenberg originally wanted Sissy Spacek for the lead role but was vetoed by the studio. As a result, Marylin Chambers was cast in the lead role. Marilyn Chambers was considered, as she was looking to break into mainstream roles.

“A young woman develops a taste for human blood after experimental plastic surgery, and her victims turn into blood-thirsty zombies, leading into a city-wide epidemic.”
