Blue Sunshine (1978)

In the nerve-racking universe of Blue Sunshine, a web of mystery and madness begins to unfurl as seemingly ordinary individuals are caught in a horrifying transformation. Two unlikely allies, Wendy Flemming, the ex-wife of a Congressional candidate, and David Blume, a respected surgeon, are both plagued by sudden hair loss and debilitating migraines. Their friend Frannie Scott, however, has progressed to an even more disturbing stage of the same affliction. Hidden beneath his wig is a chilling secret - a total loss of hair and an escalating madness that triggers a brutal killing spree. In an unfortunate twist of fate, Jerry Zipkin, Frannie's friend and witness to the horrifying episode, is wrongfully accused of the gruesome murders. Now a fugitive, Jerry is desperate to clear his name and understand the cause of Frannie's deranged behavior. As more chilling murders echo Frannie's rampage throughout the town, Jerry's quest for truth gains urgency. Alongside Jerry in this feverish race against time is his loyal girlfriend, Alicia Sweeney, and his friend David Blume, both steadfast in their belief of Jerry's innocence. As they dig deeper, the trail of clues leads them to a decade-old secret connected to Stanford University and the enigmatic Ed Flemming, who is now vying for a seat in Congress. The investigation ominously points towards a substance known as Blue Sunshine, a potential relic of Flemming's past that could obliterate his political aspirations. As Jerry fights to restore his reputation, he must also unravel the mystery of Blue Sunshine. Is it the key to preventing further murders? Or is it a Pandora's box best left unopened? As insanity grows like a sinister shadow over the town, only time will reveal the chilling reality. The gripping tale of Blue Sunshine keeps you on the edge of your seat, questioning the limits of sanity and the dark secrets that lurk in the corners of our past.
