It’s time for a new episode of the Best Horror Movie You Never Saw video series, and in this one we’re looking back at a movie that originally reached theatres just in time for Halloween in 1980. That movie is writer/director Vernon Zimmerman’s Fade to Black (watch it HERE), and you can find out all about it by watching the video embedded above.
Fade to Black has the following synopsis:
Eric Binford is a lonely movie-buff who struggles to find his place in the world. The rejection by a Marilyn Monroe lookalike, who embodies his obsession, sends him on a killing spree during which he transforms himself into classic film characters.
The film stars Dennis Christopher, Norman Burton, Morgan Paull, Gwynne Gilford, Eve Brent, James Luisi, Linda Kerridge, Tim Thomerson, and Mickey Rourke.
