Blood Harvest is a 1987 American slasher film directed by Bill Rebane and starring Tiny Tim.[1] It is the only feature film he starred in. Peter Krause appears in his first feature film role. Made in 1987 and released through Titan International, it had a limited theatrical exposure.

Plot

Jill, visiting home from college, arrives to find her parents missing, and their home vandalized. Matters soon take a turn for the worse when Jill finds herself being stalked, and her friends disappearing one by one.

Cast

  • Tiny Tim as The Marvolous Mervo/The clown
  • Pete van Ryan as Auctioneer
  • Itonia Salchek as Jill Robinson
  • Lori Minneti as Sarah
  • Albert Jaggerd as Priest
  • Peter Krause as Jill's boyfriend "Scott"

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]
