Motel Hell (1980)

An American comedy horror film directed by Kevin Connor[2] and starring Rory Calhoun, Nancy Parsons, and Nina Axelrod. The plot follows farmer, butcher, motel manager, and meat entrepreneur Vincent Smith, who traps travellers and harvests them for his human sausages.

Because of its low budget, the original intent was to make a serious horror film, with moments of disturbing wit and irony. It is often seen as a satire of modern horror films such as Psycho and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

American Gothic (1988)

This American slasher film is directed by John Hough and starring Rod Steiger, Yvonne DeCarlo and Michael J Pollard.  You either love this or you hate it.  Critics were mixed with one critic stating…. the film "comes through with an impressive array of truly sicko surprises...  Rod Steiger and Yvonne DeCarlo are consistently entertaining in what may be the most humiliating roles of their already checkered careers.
