In the '80s there were few genres as easily exploitable as horror. While action required a budget to blow things up and shoot people to pieces, horror merely required a few actors and a costume or puppet to make bank. This is why it is funny that Golan and Globus didn't actually invest all that much in the genre despite their penny-pinching ways.
And nowhere does that show more than here. After locking down horror master Tobe Hooper to a three picture deal, they had him make whatever he wanted with this sequel to the film that broke him. The result is not an '80s slasher film as you might expect, but a black comedy. Yes, you read that right.
But does it work? As always, check the episode to find out!
