“Death to all teenagers who fuck!”ĭirected by Greydon Clark ( Joysticks 1983) from a script by The ‘Burbs’ Dana Olsen, Wacko stars Andrew Dice Clay ( The Adventures of Ford Fairlane 1990) in his debut role as Tony Schlongini, along with Joe Don Baker ( Fletch 1985, Goldeneye 1995) as Dick Harbinger, Stella Stevens ( The Poseidon Adventure 1972) as Mrs.
Pandemonium movie 1982 dvd full#

Not only is it a parody of both horror films and teen sex comedies, it is called by those in the know the slasher version of Airplane!. Originally releasing May 28, 1982, Wacko predates this generation’s most well known slapstick horror film, Scary Movie, by over twenty years. To my surprise, it was Blu-ray/DVD for the 1982 National Lampoon-style slapstick horror film, Wacko, restored in glorious 4k restoration from its long lost camera negative, along with a reversible slipcover. Since I hadn’t ordered anything from them recently, the contents inside that inconspicuous mailing envelope were a complete mystery to me. Last month, I was greeted at my mailbox by a package from one of my very favorite film distributors, Vinegar Syndrome (see my review of their 4k Blu-ray release of 1993’s Body Melt here).
