Basket Case (1982) – Best Horror Party Movies

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

A new video series has just made its premiere on our JoBlo Horror Videos YouTube channel, and you can check out the first episode in the embed above! The show is called Best Horror Party Movies and it's kicking off with one of the craziest horror movies of the early '80s, the one critic Rex Reed called the "sickest" movie he had ever seen, writer/director Frank Henenlotter's 1982 classic Basket Case (watch or buy it HERE)!

Basket Case is about 

a grotesquely deformed conjoined twin who joins forces with his brother to stalk the physician who separated them at birth.

The film stars Kevin Van Hentenryck, Terri Susan Smith, Beverly Bonner, Robert Vogel, Diana Browne, Lloyd Pace, Bill Freeman, Joe Clarke, Ruth Neuman, Richard Pierce, and Sean McCabe.

And here is what the Best Horror Party Movies series is all about: 

Welcome to the Best Horror Party Movies where we single out the BEST horror movies to watch with a couple of drinks and some buddies in tow, even if it’s a “watch party”. Hence movies that are intentionally or unintentionally funny, that are extreme, fast paced, goofy, and raunchy – all the fun times toppings in the house! Films you can pay attention to or you can have in the back ground. We even tossed a party game in there, one tailored to each episode's selection, including recommended "doses" for toasting (or roasting) all the sleaze, cheese, guts and gore you can stuff into your cranium. So get in here and get crazy… 'cuz it's a HORROR PARTY! 

The Basket Case episode of Best Horror Party Movies was Written, Edited and Narrated/Hosted by Gregory Burkart, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
