One of the scariest movies of all time, in my opinion, is Invasion of the Body Snatchers. In the film, the intergalactic space parasite falls to Earth and transforms the city of San Francisco and possibly the world into a flat colorless world devoid of emotion or feeling. The humans are absorbed but their entire personalities are completely changed. Even when I remind myself that this is just Hollywood this isn't real, I'm haunted by the fact that in reality, in the world we live in, there is a parasite that changes your personality and 30 to 50% of the world has this apicomplexan inside them right now. As do cats, mice, dogs, deer, birds, fish, and every conceivable form of animal life. Join me for the premiere of Epi Dark and learn the terrifying truth about toxoplasmosis as we begin our journey through The House of Opportunists.
