For nineteen years, a man known only as the Green River Killer victimized scores of women, dumping their bodies around Washington’s Green River.

“Heavens to Betsy!”Jean-Paul Sartre is known for the brutally honest aphorism “hell is other people.” While the French philosopher was likely referring to social interaction and fears of forced extroversion, he could just as easily have been thinking of life in a small town.

Few movies earn the status of “cult horror classic” like Basket Case. Frank Henenlotter’s 1982 film has lovably bad special effects, charmingly inexperienced actors, and an outlandish plot that veers into the ghastly and salacious. The story follows a pair of formerly conjoined twin brothers who seek revenge on the doctors who separated them while exploring adulthood in New York City.
