Deadly Games1982
“Only he will hear your scream!”
Directed by Scott Mansfield
The premise
A masked maniac with a penchant for a monster-themed board game is playing his own twisted game with the women of a small American town. Each time the dice are rolled, another victim meets a grisly end. Returning home to mourn the death of her murdered sister, Keegan befriends local cop Roger and reclusive cinema projectionist Billy — but soon finds herself in the killer's sights.
Horror Vault's take
In a quiet American town, a masked strangler is claiming victims one by one — each murder tied to the moves of a monster-themed board game in a chilling ritual only he understands. Keegan returns home after her sister's violent death and finds herself drawn into the investigation alongside a local cop and an enigmatic movie projectionist. As she grows closer to the men in her life, so too does the killer — and the line between suspect and protector begins to blur. This early-eighties slasher trades pure shock value for creeping unease and small-town noir atmosphere.
