Step inside the virtual world for the newest episode of 100 Years of Horror, featuring the V.R.-heavy film, "Brainscan", from 1994. Starring 90s "it-kid" Edward Furlong and Frank Langella, this film tells the story of a young man's desire to step into another world, but not ready for the effects his actions have once people start winding up dead...in real life. Follow the tubes as the Phantom Erik and Lester unearth some other artificially-intelligent works out of the early 90s during the virtual reality craze, but be careful—you may run into some monsters within the machine.
