Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981)

Secret Base Cinema hosts a Special Friday Showing at the Esquire on September 12th with a showing of the 1981 psychological horror film BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER. About the film: This white-hot Oedipal exploitation scorcher for the ages proudly features the arch performance of a lifetime from Susan Tyrell (FAT CITY, FORBIDDEN ZONE), who completely devours the screen –- and you too, if you’re not careful! After a literal explosively shocking prologue, we find our beloved SuSu playing Cheryl, a twitchy witchy spinster whose only man in her life is her orphaned nephew Billy (Seventies teen idol Jimmy McNichol.) When Billy starts seeing a girl for the first time, Cheryl will stop at nothing to keep him all to herself –- including implicating him in a grisly murder under investigation by a psycho detective (Bo Svenson). Hold onto your butts for this superbly bumpy ride.ThrillerPT1H36MR2025-09-12
