Creature Feature Classics: Scream Bloody Murder

Back In The Old 70's These Cool

Cheaply Made Movies Used To

Come To The Local Drive-Ins And Then

After A Few Years, Late Night TV.

Scream Bloody Murder Is a Great

Example Of What Can be Done With

A Very Low Budget And Some Imagination.

Now Don't Get Me Wrong This Isn't A Great Movie

But It Does Have Some Unexpected 

Shocks And Has Some Creepy Scenes.

The Story Deals With A Young Boy (Matthew) 

Who Is Mentally Unstable And Runs Over His

Father With a Tractor. After Leaping

From The Tractor The Boy Loses His Hand

In An Accident. Cut To A Few Years later We 

See Matthew Leaving A Mental Facility 

With A Hook Hand And Heading Home To His Mother. After Arriving Home Unexpectedly We 
Find His Mother Has Just Married Much To The

Displeasure Of The Teenaged Young Man.

Needless to Say He Kills The Stepdad

And Mom Dies From a Fall. Yeah I Know,

This Sounds Silly But This Is When The Movie

Gets Even Stranger. Matthew Leaves Town

And Gets A Ride With A Newlywed Couple.

When The Newlyweds Stop At A Lake

Matthew Begins To See Ghostly Visions 
Of His  Dead Mother And Stepfather 

And Kills The Couple.

He Then Arrives In a Small Town And Is

Befriended By A Young Free Spirited Woman 

Who He Tries To Impress But Of Course

This Being A 70's Low Budget Horror

Movies Things Aren't Going To Turn Out Well.

There Are A Lot Of Murders But

Its Not A Gore Movie So To Speak

Much More Of A Disturbing Melodrama

Which Becomes Kind Of A
Psycho Sexual Grindhouse Classic.

Fred Holbert Plays Matthew And This Is The 

Only Film Credit I Can Find For Him.

Actually Most Of The Actors In This Movie

Only Have 1 or 2 Film Credits.

Leigh Mitchell Who Plays Vera, Matthew's

 Love Interest Was Also In The Incredible

Melting Man And Turn In A Nice Performance.

Angus Scrimm, The Man From Phantasm,

Has A Brief Role As A Doctor. 

 

A Lot Of Time These Old Cheaply Made Movies 

Are More Effective Than The Big Budgeted 

Films Because They Use Unknown

Actors And Take A Lot More Chances 

 And Such Is The Case With 

Scream Bloody Murder.
