The Stepfather (1987)

It's that time again! Tis the season, many say! And no, it's October fool! Not Christmas! That's in December, duh!

I'm talking about "Spooky Penis Month!" What did you think I was talking about? No matter, we start off this Halloween doubler with a real bang. A real bang of overly obsessive nuclear family perfection. All THE STEPFATHER wants is a family. A real family. A family that just "needs some order". "We need some order around here!" This is a horror film about a flannel shirt-wearing dad (boomer) who obviously has had enough with the way things are done nowadays and played by the inimitable Terry O'Quinn, we see a man on a psychotic mission to attain that perfect family dynamic. But, as one might expect, that doesn't really come to pass.

Get ready for one of Laura's "some times" favourite films of all time!

THE STEPFATHER(1987) is streaming on Amazon Prime, Peacock, Roku, Tubi, Crackle, Plex, and Fandango! So many places!!
