Worm storm

I think this scene was amazing, there are actually a huge lot of real worms blowed into the room? or was it a trick?

These creatures are nothing but pure, motorized instinct... They must be destroyed on sight!

In several languages they are called what can be translated into "Corpse Worms"

They'd probably be as sorry as Necrophagia.

The ones on the floor, phone, etc., were definately real and wriggling, but you can't tell if the flying ones were alive/dead/rubber/whatever. There was a lot of something flying about for real though, you don't get none of that fancy CGI or new-fangled optical whatnots with Mr. Fulci.

Oh my God! I was just gonna post a thread to see if anyone could help me with working out whether this is the film that disturbed me with a maggot storm as a kid! I remember a man using a hankerchief to wipe maggots off a phone before trying to use it. Thanks guys!

Whatever you tell me, its gone in three, c'est la vie!

I think I read the fx guys used rice when they were blowing in through the window.But they spread a lot of real maggots on the floor and stuff,and glued live ones onto the actors faces which,understandably,they weren't too happy about.
