53. The Horror Show (1989)

January 26, 2014

If they hadn't both come out in 1989, I might have thought The Horror Show was a sequel to Wes Craven's Shocker (or vice versa). As it is, The Horror Show was released as the second sequel in the House series (although it has absolutely nothing to do with the other House movies). Lance Henriksen stars as a tough cop credited with taking down the sadistic serial killer, Meat Cleaver Max. At Max's execution, he vows to come back and kill Henriksen and his family. At first it seems like Henriksen is going crazy until people start turning up dead all around him and his family thinks he is behind it. Henriksen has to find a way to catch Max and save his family while trying to prove his innocence. It was an entertaining movie that seems to have been mostly forgotten over the years - overshadowed by the more popular cult classic, Shocker.
