  1. … also, I commend the breaks on this ep versus the previous airing. Best to stop the film when it pauses on a flock of birds or another distraction. Last time a break ended with the escapee rummaging through the house from his point of view and it’s real creepy. Don’t kill the mood!

  2. We know … this film is a bit of a mess, particularly at the end where Jeff suddenly is wearing a cape. It’s as if a scene or an entire reel was lost either in editing or to time. Still, a good creeper with a rather unlikely but believable backstory.

    Gershon Kingsley, who composed the soundtrack, was a pioneer of electronic music and wrote “Popcorn”. Real glad he went acoustic for the film, it’s terrific. The soundtrack is available as a short run CD at Howlin’ Wolf Records.

  3. The Butler Masion Did It! Did they really tear the place down or is that the mansion Creature Features moved into? Jk, I liked the avant-garde scene w the criminally insane inmates killin the doctors. And the crackling static soundtrack lol, just for goodtimes sake. Did they find the lawyer and his mistress? Did the ginger deputy get done? Was Diane's voice overdubbed? It wouldn't kill her to emote a little more.
    See, don't escape from a mental institution and start killin' the townsfolk!
    Wait for your deinstitutionalization!
