Episode 36: Maniac (1980)

We warned you not to go out at night...

With its guerilla-style shooting and its grungy classic NYC feel, MANIAC is amongst the best slasher movies of the early '80s. William Lustig teamed with the great late Joe Spinell to deliver a beautiful horror movie. Join Leigh and Brittany as they tackle the mean streets of New York and discuss Sex Work, exploding heads, serial killers, Tom Savini, and of course Joe Spinell.
