It is time to clean house! Episode 129 of Dead Air brings you the 1991 Wes Craven classic; The People Under the Stairs. Fool is a poor kid from the ghetto who's family is on the brink of being evicted until his sisters boyfriend Leeroy convinces him to help rob the local slumlords that have been oppressing the community. But once inside, Fool and Leeroy realizes that this is no ordinary house. Booby traps, bodies and a blood thirsty killer dog are what await them inside. Not to mention the shotgun toting, leather studded "Daddy" and the deranged, knife wielding "Mommy." These two are not just collectors of wealth, but people as well. People who are hungry, savage and kept under the stairs. Nobody leaves this house of nightmares. Not ever. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/splatterpicturesdeadair/message
