Made in 1987 and released through Titan International. It had a limited theatrical exposure and is currently being re-released under its original title by Bill Rebane its writer-director on DVD and electronically.

Critical reception

}

Allmovie called it "an obvious stab at a piece of the dwindling slasher market shot on cheap, grainy stock with a small, amateur cast", writing that "those who appreciate Tiny Tim for his astonishing vocal range and vast repertoire of turn-of-the-century Tin Pan Alley songs will feel depressed watching him debase himself", but that "others might find enjoyment in a particularly wretched slasher fiasco that should provide derisive yucks for genre fans."[2]
