Summary
Our month of John List titles begins with the original The Stepfather (1987). Starring a magnetic Terry O'Quinn, this Reagan-era slasher film is the perfect takedown of outdated "father knows best" patriarchal beliefs. Plus: a debate about 'teenage' nudity; appreciating the production design; a gory opening; and a film where the dog doesn't die. Wanna connect with the show?
