Shocker Official Trailer #1 (1989) Wes Craven

On October 2nd, at 6:45 a.m., mass murderer Horace Pinker was put to death... Now he's really mad.

Master of horror Wes Craven (Scream, The Last House on the Left, A Nightmare on Elm Street) directs this exciting visual treat which introduces a diabolical mass murderer who harnesses electricity for unimaginable killing powers.

About to be electrocuted for a catalog of heinous crimes, the unrepentant Horace Pinker transforms into a terrifying energy source. Only young athlete Jonathan Parker, with an uncanny connection to Pinker through bizarre dreams, can fight the powerful demon. The two dive in and out of television programs, chasing each other from channel to channel through stunning scenes of disaster, game shows and old reruns.

A blend of dazzling special effects and an electrifying soundtrack, Shocker stars actor/director Peter Berg (actor Smokin' Aces, director Lone Survivor), Michael Murphy (X-Men: The Last Stand, Batman Returns), Ted Raimi (Evil Dead II, Candyman) and Mitch Pileggi (The X-Files, Sons of Anarchy) as Horace Pinker.

R.I.P. Wes Craven, thanks for all the memorable movie nightmares.

[Kodrybnik]

One crazy movie with good rock and metal tracks to boot.

I remember watching this movie on Starz at my Uncle’s house in 2004. Really good movie.

Wes Craven is my favorite Master of Horror Director.

[SnailMaster]

Love hearing the theme from The Serpent and the Rainbow in the trailer.

We had a horror cinema club at school and we had a few Shocker posters in the class. I got annoyed that my friends only knew about modern day horror. I put them on to the horror classics.

Surprised that a remake hasn't been done yet.

[Ddarke]

That explains why Skinner was always in such a shitty mood.

[VAmericanMuscleCar]

I was blown away when I first saw that movie. Still like it!

[acelynch]

The movie is campy as hell. I saw it in the theater, owned in on VHS. Fun, but super silly. However, the soundtrack pretty damn good.

[bazookajoe]

Movie that inspired Fallen. Both fantastic movies

[sashavish]

John Carpenter and Wes Craven-best masters of horror movies!

[PatriotMango]

I'm watching this movie now and I always wished Wes craven didn't stop making movies so soon ...But I understand why.

[joemamma]

Wes craven created the nightmares of my childhood. A great man.

[ubtoo]

I was shocked to look through some old VHS tapes and see had this one in there.

[tylerjpauls]

So this is where "no more mr nice guy" got its start...

[PhillipRottingham]

I vaguely remember seeing the poster for this movie as a child and being scared by it.

Wes and Sam are the kings of this style.
