Goofs:

Plot holes: After cutting her throat, Spencer St. Claire's wife finally gets back at her husband by pushing a plugged in toaster all the way from the kitchen across the house to the bathroom, before dumping it into the bathtub electrocuting him. What's more disconcerting: the fact that April St. Claire survived getting her throat slit, or the fact they have a toaster with a 60 foot cord?

Quotes:

Tom Nash: [singing] People say that he's downright nasty, he's mean and he's gruesome. He'll make your threesome into a twosome. Now is your chance to make a break, don't let a moment go to waste. On the prowl, hear him howl, here comes the Yeti now!

They don't make 'em like this anymore

Yes, I'm another one of those "Did I see this as a youngster or was I dreaming" types. I saw this on "Shock Theater" with Dr. Creep in the late seventies on Ch. 22 WKEF out of Dayton, Ohio and it scarred me for life. What a bizarre and twisted plot for a movie. The "Popcorn", "White Meat or Dark" and "Death by Toaster" scenes alone should guarentee this piece of Drive-In filler a place in the halls of 70s horror history forever.
