Night Warning 
aka
Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker

I’ve mentioned 1982′s Night Warning (the title it’s most known by) once before, in my support of the late, faboo Susan Tyrell for an Oscar nomination for this role, which was gloriously apeshit, as was the film:

Raising her nephew (Jimmy McNichol) after his parents die in hilariously gory fashion (his dad never saw that log coming), she becomes unhinged when he decides to leave for college, and that’s where the splatter starts. Actually, there’s a lot more to Night Warning than the typical 80′s slasher film. It includes a homophobic cop, a gay gym coach, a young Bill Paxton, a topless Julia Duffy, and towering above it all is Susan’s go-for-broke performance. Enjoy the trailer, which totally misrepresents the movie!
