Halloween Special: The Stepfather

The Stepfather on DVD

Happy Halloween! Of course, horror movies go hand in hand with the celebration of Halloween. And what better way to celebrate than to watch this classic horror-fest which has now been remastered and re-released on DVD. Since it's release in 1987, The Stepfather has become a cult classic and has even spawned a remake.

Entertainment Weekly has recently listed The Stepfather as number one in its list of "Sixteen Little-Known Horror Gems (“small films with big scares”)."

Entertainment Weekly cites the following as the three reasons for the inclusion of the film in its list:

1. It’s an underrated classic. 
2. Stars the unsung Charlie's Angel Shelley Hack 
3. You get to see Terry O'Quinn as a psycho “with a full head of hair.”
