Halloween guilty pleasures

“Parents” (1989)

Ever wonder what your parents keep in those gigantic freezers in the basement? See what happens in Bob Balaban's dark comedy when one little boy gets a little too curious about the origins of his dinner. Randy Quaid and Mary Beth Hurt play a deranged mom and pop to eerie—and often hilarious—perfection. Watching this movie just might make you consider a new life as a vegetarian.
