This week on The Introverted Obelisk, we wade chest-deep into the murky waters of the 1959 swamp shocker Attack of the Giant Leeches—a film where the real danger isn’t the monsters so much as the humidity, infidelity, and questionable law enforcement. When townsfolk in the Florida Everglades start disappearing, the local authorities blame gators, bad luck, or perhaps a diet rich in moonshine. But game warden Steve Benton smells something fishy—and it's not just the bait shack.

Join your host as we dive into a world of cheating lovers, guilt-ridden suicides, and a slow-motion bloodsucking horror show set in a cave that somehow exists under a swamp. There’s dynamite. There's spear guns. There’s a woman named Liz who probably had it coming.

With cardboard leeches, melodrama so thick you could drain it, and a monster reveal that’s more soggy than scary, this is bargain-bin horror at its swampiest. So zip up your waders, light the dynamite, and whatever you do—don’t go necking near the water.
