In this electrifying episode of The Offering with Jerry Horror, we plug into the shocking story behind a 1989 horror film that Universal hoped would zap new life into their slasher game. Desperate for their own version of a certain razor-gloved dream demon, the studio charged ahead with a new villain who was all about high voltage mayhem. Despite the jolt of excitement surrounding the film, the pressure to deliver dazzling special effects led the lead artist to suffer a complete meltdown, leaving behind a trail of sparks and shattered nerves.
Surprisingly, this high-wattage horror flick generated a decent amount of buzz at the box office, leaving the director scratching his head and wondering why the current never flowed into a sequel. Adding to the film's shocking legacy, it originally received an X rating due to its intense scenes, forcing the filmmakers to cut down the voltage multiple times just to get an R rating.
Join Jerry as he powers through the twists and turns of this electrifying tale, from the behind-the-scenes burnout to the studio's failed attempt to charge up a new franchise. Whether you're a fan of horror films that pack a punch or just enjoy a good Hollywood cautionary tale, this episode is sure to spark your interest. Plug in and get ready for a hair-raising journey into the world of 80s horror!
