Did anyone else hear about the movie Slither? It has something to do with killer worms that get into your brain and turn people into zombies. It looks bad, but I just had to point out the similarites between it and the Age of Worms.

Actually, I remember a really old movie, "Night of the Creeps" that had these black alien slugs that shot into your mouth and took over your brain, turning you into a zombie. Then they laid eggs in there and heads began bursting with more slugs. Pretty good for such an oldie.
Oh I got a better B movie reference, Squirms. A movie about mutant earthworms that burrow into people. Can't think of Kyuss without thinking of that movie.
I saw this for work (don't ask) and it was actually pretty entertaining in a Troma films kinda way. And yeah, this movie owes A LOT to squirms and creeps, but it def. acknowledges that.
SPOILERS:
There are actually a few cool scenes that I was thinking of using (if/when) I run the AoW campaign particulary if the spawn of kyuss from Blackwall Keep gets out. Theres some really good stuff in there about small towns being overrun.
The worms kidnap a woman to be their 'queen' and lead the heroes back to her lair just when she's about to give birth. The woman has swelled to the size of a barn and just when the start talking to her, she bursts, sending a swarm of worms over everyone. It was really creepy and gross and could certainly scare the bejezus out of a party.
Also, the worms have kind of a hive mind (telepathic bond), which could be an interesting variation to put into the kyuss worms maybe even going back to Kyuss himself? Everything they see, he sees? This could also allow the spawn to work together a little more and increase their deadliness.

If you're looking for a funny, gross, horror movie...this one's a good choice.

Agreed; I saw this movie a week ago with Wes Schneider of Dragon fame on one of those fancy press screenings (yay!), and it's a great movie! Very funny, and very gory; very much a mid 80s horror movie done with modern effects.
And yes... it's very Kyuss worm friendly, including a sequence where we get an x-ray view of a worm slithering through someone's body and into the brain.
