PARADISE THEATRE presents BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE MAKER

THE PARADISE THEATRE AND WEIRD ALICE PRESENT- EVIL WOMEN: a series of monthly double features devoted to the femme fatales we desire and dread in our wildest dreams and worst nightmares! Join us on the last Sunday of the month for two unholy flicks- curated and presented by Weird Alice at the Paradise Theatre.

Weird Alice is back with a special Halloween edition of Evil Women! Join us at the Paradise for a frightful double feature- featuring a wicked set of leading ladies. Following our 6 PM presentation of Ken Russell's LAIR OF THE WHITE WORM join us at 8 PM for the shockingly sinister thriller courtesy of the least likely source. Known for directing hit sitcoms such as I LOVE LUCY, and BEWITCHED- William Asher took over the troubled production of 1981's BUTCHER, BAKER, NIGHTMARE, MAKER and turned it into a classic of queer horror.

Rejected by her lover, the only man left in Cheryl’s (Susan Tyrell) life is the orphaned nephew (Jimmy McNichol) she has raised as her own son. She’ll stop at nothing to keep Billy with her. When her plans misfire, she is swept up into an insane frenzy that means death to anyone who comes between her and her obsession. But the investigating detective is convinced that Billy is the real killer - and determined to prove it. Madness and fanaticism work together to drag all concerned into a terrifying vortex of blood-letting that adds a nightmarish twist to the classic Oedipus story.
