The Omen 1976 | Episode 496

Jim Adams
About this episode

Jim reflects on one of the top-grossing films of 1976 and a real horror game-changer - "The Omen," starring Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, Harvey Spencer Stephens, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, Patrick Troughton, Leo McKern, and Holly Palance. This classic film centers around a small boy who might be the Antichrist. The movie opened the door for many other religous horror films in the late-70s and spawned three sequels as well as a remake and a prequel. Find out more on MONSTER ATTACK!, The Podcast Dedicated To Old Monster Movies.
