The Mutilator

So far, it outdoes Three on a Meathook.


He stands supreme!

The Mutilator is a 1985 Slasher Movie.

As a child, young Ed, Jr. accidentally kills his mother while goofing around with his dad's shotgun (on the patriarch's birthday, no less). Big Ed nonverbally threatens to use the weapon on his child, who runs off.

Years later, the boy and his friends have nothing to do while on break from school, but Big Ed calls to ask his son for a favor; apparently his beach condo needs cleaning out and Ed Jr. is just the man for the job. So Ed takes his pals off to the house. When they get there, Ed's dad is nowhere to be found. Neither is his battle axe.

Uh-oh.


Tropes used in The Mutilator include:
  • Sweater Girl: Pam and Sue.
  • Tentative Light: At the pool.

  • Trophy Room: Big Ed's is filled with animals, weapons, random stuff he's picked up, and pictures (including one of a swimmer he accidentally hit... the first sign of his instability).
