Film Theory: Tremors and Footloose take place in the same town

 

So this is a weird one. This theory states that the town from Footloose is the same town from Tremors. The theory states the banning of dancing from Footloose was not an attempt to control the youth of the town but rather as a way to prevent the Tremors from waking up from underneath the town. It was feared that the rhythmic vibrations from dancing would wake them up. To add to that, Kevin Bacon's character in Footloose stayed in the town only to grow up and contain the danger he helped release. This is one of those theories that makes you think, “huh, there might be something to this.” Whatever it is, it really makes you think.
