AI notes: Tremors (1990) is a witty and suspenseful monster movie that blends horror, science fiction, and comedy in a uniquely entertaining way. Set in the isolated desert town of Perfection, Nevada, the story follows two down-on-their-luck handymen, Val (Kevin Bacon) and Earl (Fred Ward), who stumble upon a series of mysterious deaths and seismic activity. They soon discover the cause: giant underground worm-like creatures, later dubbed "Graboids," that hunt their prey by sensing vibrations in the earth. With the help of a resourceful seismologist (Finn Carter) and a well-armed survivalist couple (Michael Gross and Reba McEntire), the townspeople must use their wits to stay off the ground and outsmart the relentless predators. Known for its practical effects, clever writing, and a perfect mix of tension and humor, Tremors became a cult favorite and launched a long-running franchise that expanded the lore of its iconic creatures.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete in 144 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
