Madman (1981)
Inspired by the infamous “Cropsey” urban legend, MADMAN is a quintessential 1980s slasher. Many terrifying legends are shared around campfires, but very few of them are true. That’s what teenager Richie thought about the story of Madman Marz, a hulking brute who, as the story goes, murdered his entire family and who can be summoned from the dead by calling his name. Unfortunately for Richie and his fellow summer camp counselors, the legend is very true. And Madman Marz is back. Starring Gaylen Ross (DAWN OF THE DEAD) and featuring colorful photography by James Lemmo (MS. 45), MADMAN is a synthed-out slasher paradise that piles on scares, suspense, and plenty of gory kills.
