Horror Show (1989)

Detective McCarthy is on leave from his job after capturing prolific serial killer Max Jenke. McCarthy has nightmares about Jenke and when Jenke is going to the electric chaire, McCarthy decides to attend in the hope that his nightmares will cease.

It takes a while to kill Jenke, and as he's frying he tells McCarthy that he'll be back to get him. Jenke's spirit goes into the electric current flowing through the chair and ends up in McCarthy's basement in the boiler. People are killed, McCarthy hallucinates, and chaos ensues.

The best thing about the movie is that it stars Brion James as Jenke and Lance Henriksen as McCarthy. It's also worth noting that one of the writers is listed as Alan Smithee, but it's really not that bad so I'm not sure why they didn't use their own name.
