Shelley starred in the cult classic The Stepfather. It was completed in 1985 but was released in 1987. The film, loosely based on the life of multiple-murderer John List, was directed by Joseph Ruben and had Terry O'Quinn in the title role. Shelley and Jill Schoelen played the mother and daughter who were about to become "the stepfather's" next victims. The main cast gave excellent performances, especially Terry. The film is both suspenseful and chilling; and it's currently out on DVD. Buy it, you won't regret it.
