Episode 340: Maniac (1980)

What this episode covers

This is our final New Year’s Resolution/Horror Cred show, Ron and Little Miss Horror Nerd watch Maniac — which is one movie that has managed to elude Ron all these years. They will discuss the movie as a character study, the life and death of Joe Spinell and Jessica shows her expertise about penises. To say Frank has some problems with his mother is an understatement. To say that Frank “isn’t all there” is a bigger understatement. Frank stalks and murders attractive women and does unusual things to part of their bodies. Frank knows this is wrong, but cannot help his instincts or his hallucinations. Maniac was too far ahead of it’s time and suffered a lot of criticism and lacked proper marketing because of it.
