Released on June 13, 1980, THE CHILDREN arrived in theaters and delivered one of the strangest and most unsettling horror concepts of the early slasher era.
Directed by Max Kalmanowicz, the film follows a group of schoolchildren who are exposed to a mysterious toxic cloud after a nuclear plant accident. When they return home, anyone they touch is burned to death by their radioactive skin. Combining nuclear-age paranoia with small-town horror, THE CHILDREN has earned a reputation as one of the more unique cult films of the 1980s.
Fun fact: The film's memorable makeup effects were created on a modest budget, relying on simple practical effects to transform the children into eerie, radiation scarred killers. Those effects helped the movie stand out among the flood of low-budget horror releases of the era.
Equal parts creepy, bizarre, and surprisingly effective, THE CHILDREN remains a favorite discovery for fans of obscure 1980s horror. Hidden gem or radioactive curiosity?

One reason the Bond franchise has survived for over 60 years is that it has never been afraid to evolve.

The goal was always to find the next actor capable of redefining Bond for a new generation.
A fantastic look at Heart posing outside together right around the time they were breaking big with Dreamboat Annie, circa 1975–1976. You’ve got Ann and Nancy Wilson right there surrounded by Howard Leese, Roger Fisher, Michael DeRosier, and Steve Fossen. Back then, they were right in the middle of transitioning from a hardworking Vancouver bar band into actual rock royalty. When their debut album dropped, it completely changed the game. Nobody had ever really seen a heavy rock band fronted by two sisters.
Did anyone out there catch Heart live back in the mid-to-late '70s during the Dreamboat Annie or Little Queen days? Drop your memories in the comments,We'd love to read them! 👇
