On this day, October 18, 1980, the horror-comedy Motel Hell premiered. Directed by Kevin Connor and starring Rory Calhoun, Paul Linke, Nancy Parsons, and even Wolfman Jack, the movie became a cult classic for its unique mix of horror and dark humor. The film, with a budget of $3 million, grossed $6.3 million at the box office. It’s a quirky take on the slasher genre that stood out among the horror films of the early ’80s.

Have you seen Motel Hell? What did you think of its blend of horror and comedy?
