Shocker’s ridiculous plot is what made me add this film to the list. That doesn’t mean it’s a terrible film. It’s spectacular. It’s full of terrible one-liners and sub-par acting, especially by a few actors who went on to accomplish great things in the entertainment industry. I remember my mother taking a few friends and I to see it in the theaters for my birthday. We all left the theater reciting a few lines from the film. What we all need is a Horace Pinker action figure!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gleefully unhinged slasher that plays its supernatural premise with campy energy, blending genuine scares with B-movie absurdity as a dead maniac terrorizes through electrical surges and dreamworld chaos.
