Dee Wallace is without a doubt one of the biggest scream queens our genre has to offer. And fair enough considering she has starred in such flicks as THE HOWLING, THE STEPFORD WIVES, CRITTERS, THE HILLS HAVE EYES, POPCORN, THE FRIGHTENERS, THE HOUSE OF THE DEVIL, and Rob Zombie's HALLOWEEN and THE LORDS OF SALEM. And if you're as big a fan of Dee Wallace as all of us here at AITH are, then you need to see this pleasant new picture that showcases Wallace hanging out with her kids from E.T. and CUJO – aka Henry Thomas and Danny Pintauro.
Wallace took to Twitter to share the pic writing:
They’ll forever be my kids!
E.T. was directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Melissa Mathison. It co-starred Peter Coyote and Drew Barrymore and followed the tale of
A gentle alien stranded on Earth who is discovered and befriended by a young boy named Elliott (Henry Thomas) who brings the extraterrestrial into his house, and introduces the alien is dubbed, to his brother and his little sister. The children decide to keep its existence a secret but soon E.T. falls ill, resulting in government intervention and a dire situation for both Elliott and the alien.
CUJO meanwhile was directed by Lewis Teague from a script by Don Carlos Dunaway & Lauren Currier based on Stephen King's novel. In that tale
a killer canine, man's best friend turns into his worst enemy. When sweet St. Bernard Cujo is bitten by a bat, he starts behaving oddly and becomes very aggressive. As Cujo morphs into a dangerous beast, he goes on a rampage in a small town. Stay-at-home mom Donna (Dee Wallace) gets caught in Cujo's crosshairs on a fateful errand with her son, Tad (Danny Pintauro). Stuck in their tiny car, Donna and Tad have a frightening showdown with the crazed animal.
I know this is basically a silly question but I'm going to go ahead and ask it all the same. If you had to pick one movie what would it be: E.T. or CUJO? Damn, if that's not the most one-sided question of all-time. I love CUJO as much as the next horror fan… but damn. But E.T. HERE and CUJO HERE.
