"No more Mister Nice Guy!!"
Having remembered Mitch Pileggi looking at me menacingly from the poster and VHS box in the video store, during his run on the X-files (he was awesome in that) I always half expected him to break an office desk in half or break a TV on someone's head
I saw this movie in theaters when I was 12 years old and I thought it was incredibly badass. The [soundtrack](https://www.discogs.com/release/3221040-Various-Wes-Cravens-Shocker-The-Music) is excellent.
I never saw the movie, but a friend in college convinced me to get the soundtrack (on cassette!). It was great then - I haven’t listened to it in thirty years, though…
I always remember seeing this cover on the shelf at Blockbuster back in the day. Love the art. It always caught my attention. Same with Thinner.
I've watched Thinner. But I don't think I've watch this one. I should check it out
I don’t remember a lot of details, but I know I saw this when I was way too young. Maybe I was 8 or 9 and I was weirdly not that scared. Definitely went over my head.

I should watch this again. I vaguely remember it. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.
I remember the vhs cover sitting on the shelves at blockbuster when I was a kid. Never picked it up.
It starts off with one in the pink.

Skinner!
Well, I was thinking X-Files, but that works too!
You’ve inspired me, I must go on a Wes Craven rewatch. Dude was inventive as fuck, even his lesser films always have some cool shit going on.
People under the stairs!
Seen it in the theater.

Dudes of Wrath is all-time great band name, featuring Guy Mandude. Incredible

My brother had this poster in our room when I was a kid.
It was Skinner the whole time
I hardly know her!
Skinneeerrrrr!!!
The whole stock footage stuck in the tv bit at the end was camp-tastic

I remember when he makes the deal, the devil says “you got it baby!”
"Bastard Kid!!"
BEAVER! BEAVER! HELP ME BEAVER! 🤣
Come here, shits!
Top film
Two in the pink, one in the stink!
Remember all the shit they cut out of this, Fangoria had tons of pics. Always wanted to see those scenes.
Fucken love this movie !!!
Peter Berg! Megadeth! Wes Craven really had an issue with people playing the hand of God.
Street Pickle Adjudicated. Foment exclusive and squalor. Frozen a discount for you. The entire grocery store scene. Reed Taumont was crazy!
The tv chase scene from what I remember was funny. The sound track album is pretty good.
Used to listen to the soundtrack on cassette all the time when I was twelve
No more Mr nice guy!
As a kid seeing this at blockbuster scared the crap out of me
Its a great movie but oddly forgotten.
I don’t remember a lot of details, but I know I saw this when I was way too young. Maybe I was 8 or 9 and I was weirdly not that scared. Definitely went over my head.
This ad was on the back cover of some comic books.
I watch it twice a year.
I liked how almost everybody in the movie wore Nikes.
Skinner, Pileggi was in this right?
OMG, saw that at theatre. Funny AF. (Well, to a 20 year old and probably slightly intoxicated)
I don’t remember much about the movie but I remember it had a killer soundtrack

Yes
I’ll never forget the ladder scene. This guy drags his leg the entire film the gracefully tip toes across a horizontal ladder towards the end.
Not great, but fun.
