Description: Scream Bloody Murder is a 1973 horror film starring Fred Holbert as Matthew a severely disturbed man who killed his own father with a tractor, and in the process loses one of his hands. Having been committed to a mental institute he is seemingly cured. On release he finds his mother has a new love which sets him on a killing spree.
SCREAM BLOODY MURDER is, overall, among the better movies made during the slasher craze of the 1970’s and 80’s, and could be considered a forgotten gem among fans of the genre. I got my hands on this movie through Mill Creek’s Chilling Classics 50 Movie pack, meaning that this movie is probably public domain and anyone interested might be able to see it for free through online sources.
A disturbed boy kills his father with his farm tractor and his arm is mangled in the process. He’s taken to a mental hospital where he’s outfitted with a hook to replace his lost hand and, years later, he’s eventually released from the asylum. He returns home to find his mother has remarried, which sets him off on a murderous rampage
