The Brood (1979) - Newspaper Ad

Oakland Tribune - August 1, 1979

This is one of those kindertrauma ads I remember scaring the daylights out me, back in the day. I also might have seen a couple of television ads for it, but cannot be too sure about that. August 1979 would be some 46 years ago, at time of writing. 

I also remember reading about the film in either an issue of Fangoria, Starlog, or, most likely, Cinefastique. This had to have been post Scanners, because I was fascinated, curious, and eager to learn of Cronenberg's early works.

When I did get the chance to watch The Brood on home video, it did not disappoint. I think it is my favorite Cronenberg film. There is a lot in and about the film that I relate to. Feel free to make of that what you will.
