Canceled Too Soon #222 | The Omen (1995) Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

If you loved THE OMEN, you probably won't like THE OMEN! The Oscar-winning horror movie about the antichrist got transformed into a failed TV pilot about a demon that jumps from body to body and tries to ruin a St. Patrick's Day parade by unleashing a flesh-eating virus!

It's got a great cast - including William Sadler, Brett Cullen and Norman Lloyd - and a cult hit director (Jack Sholder, THE HIDDEN) - so maybe THE OMEN really was... CANCELED TOO SOON?

William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold are about to find out, as SCARYTOBER continues!
