Question
Hi,
There was a horror/suspense movie in the 70's about a kid who killed a little girl and his mom had him live in the house in a secret room to protect him from the police. A family moved in and he still lived the room, painted weird paintings, and spyed on the family.  I have no idea what the name of the movie was - any idea? It could've been made for T.V.
Thanks,
Matt

Answer
Hi, Matt...

It wasn, indeed, a TV movie... it was caleld "Bad Ronald," and it was and is considered one of the best made-for-TV horror films ever, right behind "Dark Night of the Scarecrow" and "Trilogy of Terror." You can find a copy on Ebay or Amazon pretty easily...

Hope this helps,

I am a devout fan of horror films, from the Universal classics to the schlock of the 50`s, on through the 70`s to the splatter era, and straight up to "28 Days Later." Tom Savini films are an extra treat. Ask me about "Knightriders" if you don`t believe me. Anyone else own a copy of that classic?

Just a lifetime subscription to "Famous Monsters of Filmland," and another to "Fangoria."
