Plot
In the chilling realm of the supernatural, Detective Lucas McCarthy's relentless pursuit of justice brings him face-to-face with the terror of "Meat Cleaver Max," a notorious serial killer. McCarthy's satisfaction at capturing this menace is short-lived, as Max's execution merely serves as his sinister ascension to an alternate reality of existence. Ever the predator, Max now haunts McCarthy's once peaceful home, vowing a vengeful haunting, and turning the detective's world upside-down.
As Max's malevolent spirit infiltrates McCarthy's life, his family becomes the target of this spectral terror. The very fabric of McCarthy's sanity begins to unravel, his once safe haven now a haunted house echoing with Max's chilling threats. In this eerie setting, Lance Henriksen delivers a riveting performance as the beleaguered Lucas McCarthy, matched by Brion James' chilling portrayal of Max Jenke, in a rare cinematic instance featuring these actors in leading roles.
A glimmer of hope appears in the form of a disreputable parapsychologist, providing the beleaguered detective with a potential weapon against Max's spectral vengeance. With his guidance, McCarthy embarks on a desperate quest to destroy Max's spirit and reclaim the peace and sanity of his home and family. The Horror Show (1989) is a thrilling odyssey into the unknown, where the boundaries of reality blur, and the fight is as much against one's own mind as against the terrifying specter of a vengeful killer.
