Hey everybody! Thanks for watching, I love doing these franchise videos and I hope to do more soon, which ones would you like to see added to the list? I think I'm going to do a newer one next time to switch it up a bit, maybe Final Destination? Thanks, and hope you have a great week, and happy Father's Day!

The idea of the wives ignoring huge red flags is actually pretty realistic. The hard part about developing relationships is when you start to see huge red flags right in the beginning a lot of people in your life will try to tell you itā€™s ā€œtoo soonā€ ā€œgive him a chanceā€ and ā€œdonā€™t be paranoidā€ . This isnā€™t every person but I have found this is why later itā€™s not a stretch to not pay attention to red flags.

Arguably one of my favorite scenes in horror has to be the kitchen scene in the original when Susan finds out Jerry left his job and he forget who he is. So much tension and an absolutely terrifying psuedo-jump scare when Jerry out of nowhere slams the phone in to Susan's face.

This was really great. The Stepfather was always one of those 80ā€™s horror movies that really turned the Regan era nuclear family trope on its head in a disturbing but creative way. Also, I completely forgot about the awful third movie until you mentioned the wood chipper scene. Thatā€™s the only thing I remembered from the whole thing.

More terrifying after reading about the John List murders, which inspired the original film.

No, he doesn't want LOVE, he wants his IDEAL of "family" perfectly fulfilled: at best, the Stepfather himself can only give the most extreme form of "conditional" love, which isn't real love at all in my book. Or maybe he really "loves" order and structure, with people and a facsimile of love to flesh-out that craved structure -- only as a concomitant in fulfilling his real needs.

I think what separates the firat film's opening with the remake's is how the remake just shows off the bodies of the dead family throughout the scene while the original doesn't show the bodies until he starts to leave. The original feels like a setup and payoff that is crucial to the story, where the remake feels like a scene from a parody.

The beginning of the original ā€œStepfatherā€ will forever be the most eeriest scene in horror! It still gets me, and Iā€™ve seen that movie several times. John List would be proud... šŸ„“

I'm 41 and clearly remember watching and rewatching The Stepfather on Showtime frequently for years. A perfect horror movie that has a lot of rewatch able power. It was on all the time for years along with the sequels. Terry O'Quinn rocked it.

If my stepfather was the guy who wrote stepfather, i'd run away from home as fast as possible. 22:35 'There is this really bizarre friendship between the 60-something preacher and the little boy and they both really like murder mysteries. It has the funniest sex scene i've propably ever seen...' Gotta split stuff like that up in the script ;)

Am I the only one that gets some serious Kira Yoshikage vibes from Terry O'Quinn's performance ? Jerry Blake just wants a quiet life....

I consider "The Stepfather" more of a psychological thriller with some horrifying moments.

The neighbor recognizing "The Stepfather" on AMW subplot in the remake is likely a reference to how the real life inspiration of this movie killer was caught. John List was caught by his neighbor recognizing a sculpted bust of him on the show decades after he murdered his family.

Damn those darn Weinsteens I wonder if they did anything else bad?

"Hannibal Lecter would be caught in weeks". Um, wasn't one of the biggest complaints about the second movie that Lecter was so congenial, shy, and unassuming that it was impossible to believe he was the same man as in the first one? And then a major complaint about the show was (hypocritically) that Mads Mikkelsen has too imposing an appearance to pull that off? Yeah, Lecter's thing was that he only showed his true colours to people he was thinking about killing, then backing off if he changed his mind. In the books, he even used the kind of temper his uncle had to say that that was what his family got like when they were defensive. The novel Silence of the Lambs was written by a criminologist, that's why his behaviour is so believable that they had to add things like him having six fingers on one hand to offset it.

This type of murderer is known as a ā€œfamily annihilatorā€ and there are real cases of this happening.

I'm a fan of Ebert's reviews and body of work, but I love how you said, "he hates fun things." That's really nailing it on the head. There's so much irony that the man who wrote Beyond the Valley of the Dolls hates almost any kind of schlock entertainment.

Love the Stepfather movies. My dad used to quote him when I was a kid: We need some ORDER around here!ā€ šŸ˜‚

"Stepfather- husband of one's mother by subsequent marriage." The remake couldn't even get the title right! A stepfather is not mom's boyfriend.

Stepfather is absolutely brilliant as is Quinn, but to call it a franchise isnā€™t fair considering the sequels just should never of happened lol. Iā€™m glad you appreciate the film, too. More people need to see this
