THE TOOLBOX MURDERS (1978)

The drive-in epic of violence and depravity that was vilified by critics, banned by censors, and treasured by splatter fans—this is THE TOOLBOX MURDERS! In a Los Angeles apartment complex, a deranged handyman goes on a killing spree, savagely murdering people with the tools of his trade—claw-hammers, screwdrivers, power drills, and even a nail gun. But these gruesome massacres are just the beginning. Co-written by Ann Kindberg, Robert Easter, and Neva Friedenn (and inspired by real-life crimes that took place in Minnesota), THE TOOLBOX MURDERS is a gritty, west coast variant of TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE that co-stars exploitation legend Cameron Mitchell (BLOOD AND BLACK LACE) and former child actress Pamelyn Ferdin (THE BEGUILED).
