ScreamCast 70: I, Madman. You, Madman. We, Madmen.
It’s a double feature of Madman mayhem as we cover Scream Factory’s I, MADMAN and Vinegar Syndrome’s MADMAN! Plus, we debut two new segments: “Stream Screams” & “VHS VideOMG!” Also, stay tuned at the end of the show for a sexy BJ robot voice surprise!
The Flicks:
I, Madman (1989)
Director: Tibor Takács
Written By: David Chaskin
Starring: Jenny Wright, Clayton Rohner, Randall William Cook
“A witty, sophisticated horror film.” -Chicago Tribune
Gothic nightmares collide with gritty realism in this “stylish horror thriller [that] pulls you in and makes you pay attention” (Los Angeles Times)! After a spine-tingling paperback catches the imagination of bookstore clerk Virginia, she seeks out the author’s second book, I, Madman. But once she opens the cover, its eerie tale of obsessive love comes to life, catapulting a disfigured, scalpel-wielding killer from the world of fiction onto the streets of Hollywood with one demented goal: to win Virginia’s love, one murder at a time!
Starring Jenny Wright (Near Dark, The Lawnmower Man), Clayton Rohner (April Fool’s Day, The Human Centipede III) and three-time Academy Award® winner* Randall William Cook (Best Visual Effects, The Lord Of The Rings trilogy) as the mysterious and frightening Malcolm Brand, this “imaginative, scary” gem packs “a wow of an ending” (Leonard Maltin)!
*2001: Best Visual Effects, The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring; 2002: Best Visual Effects, The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers; 2003: Best Visual Effects, The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of the King

Madman (1982)
Director: Joe Giannone
Written By: Joe Giannone
Starring: Gaylen Ross, Tony Fish, Harriet Bass
Years ago, Madman Marz violently murdered his family only to escape into the woods before his execution could be completed. Legend has it that anyone who calls his name above a whisper can summon him back to continue his bloody rampage. But teenage Richie, away at camp, doesn’t believe the old legend and calls his name. As night falls, strange things start happening at camp and soon Madman Marz is back, axe in hand, to finish the killing spree he started decades ago. One of the true classics of 80’s slasher cinema, Vinegar Syndrome proudly presents MADMAN on Blu-ray for the first time, newly restored in 4K from the camera negative! [Vinegar Syndrome]
