Head of the Family
Mastermind of death!
Directed by Charles Band
Produced by Tanna Productions, Full Moon Features
A campy horror-comedy spoof that plays grotesque human experimentation and mutant freaks for laughs rather than scares.
In the midst of a torrid affair, Lance discovers that Nob Hollow's weirdest residents, the Stackpoole family, have been doing hideous human experiments in the bowels of their basement.
