🎥 VHS Vault: Shocker (1989)

"On October 2nd, at 6:45 a.m. mass murderer Horace Pinker was put to death. Now, he's really mad."

Vault Notes:

Wes Craven amps up the electrifying horror with Shocker, a high-voltage thriller about a serial killer who escapes death by transferring his spirit through electricity. 

With campy special effects, pulsing synth-rock, and a killer soundtrack, this flick zaps audiences into a retro horror ride that’s equal parts cheesy and chilling. 

Starring Michael Murphy and Peter Berg, Shocker delivers all the late-’80s vibes you love, with enough shock value to keep you glued to the screen.

Plug in your VCR and get ready for a jolt! Shocker is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
