Sarah Squirm, aka Saturday Night Live’s Sarah Sherman, is making amends. Specifically, she’s using her Instagram account to reach out to all the worms she may have kidnapped, harmed or even murdered in the name of comedy.

What drove Sherman to commit such crimes in the first place? To reveal her motive, she takes us back to her high school days when “everyone called me Sarah Squirm — whatever — because I was disgusting.”

Because of the Squirm in her new moniker, she soon learned about the 1976 horror movie of the same name. If you haven’t seen it, Squirm graphically depicts what happens when “a storm causes some power lines to break and touch the ground, drawing millions of man-eating worms out of the earth.”

Horrifying! But what really drew in Sherman was Squirm’s poster, a monstrosity featuring “a guy’s face infested with worms.”
