The Prowler (1981)

A GI serving in World War II gets a Dear John letter from his girlfriend back home. When there is a graduation dance later that year, the girl and her date are murdered by a man dressed as a GI. Thirty years later, there is another graduation dance and the killer GI is back.

This is a typical early 80s slasher flick except for the amazing special effects by Tom Savini. Supposedly Savini thinks this is some of his best work.

We were trying to figure out if the band in the film was real or just actors put together to play the part of a band. Turns out they were a real band called Nowherefast.
