(Yes I have used this nick since the nets dawn of time)
I wouldnt mind a reboot (or sequel) to one of the best slashers ever made, AS LONG AS it keeps out from the cgi fx department and makes it the old fashion way and make it oldschool and use alot of shadows etc like the original.
I saw this on VHS for the first time in the early 80s and i remember when we rented it how the female videostore clerk scared us by telling how nasty and frightening the movie was and how she bolted her front door and turned on all the lights in her house…
The narration on the backcover of the VHS sold it perfectly and to this day I still have the large poster u on the wall in my house, so YES, Iam a hugh fan…

To GARY,
if you are reading this, I hope you will consider releasing the soundtrack to Madman too. I know Howling Wolf Records have been in talks with composer Stephen Hereck about it and would probably like to get in contact with you too…

keep on fighting for Madman Marz to live on!!!

I stumbled upon this page on Facebook. This was a great Horror when I saw it as a young adult. I haven’t seen it in years, but I think it deserves a reboot. Hell, every other Horror is getting one. As Mr. Macabre said I also hope they don’t do crappy CGI like others have and I am also a big fan of Derek Mears and Douglas Tait. They would both be great for Madman Marz. I will be looking out for this one.

I hope they remake this classic horror I enjoyed as a child. But I also wish that they don’t do any CGI either because that will kill the raw and great look that the original film had. Although I loved him, I don’t think that Paul Ehlers can pull off the role of Madman Marz anymore so they would need to cast a younger person for the character. Derek Mears or Douglas Tait would be a great choice for Marz. They need to keep the same eerie music as the original had also. I have my fingers crossed for this remake!

The print for this new DVD looks real bad when compared to the Anchor Bay one…

It´s anamorphic, and that´s good… but it´s interlaced…
The blue tint is gone, and the print is softer than the Anchor Bay.

The extras are good but are produced on a very amateur level.

I´ll keeep my Anchor Bay for viewing the film and this for the extras.

LA fans take note, Madman is playing midnight on October 16 at the New Beverly Cinema, and they say “The Madman himself, Paul Ehlers, plus co-writer / producer Gary Sales will appear IN PERSON.”

I am so excited for a Madman sequel I could spin myself silly in a hot tub.

What’s wrong with horror fandom today: “I guess you like lame CGI movies…”

So there’s no possibility a new Madman film could be decent? No chance it could be realized without CG effects? No chance whatsoever that it could add something to the Madman Marz mythos?

Thank God it’s not up to “fans” like this whether or not new horror movies are made. Thank God filmmakers have the passion and courage to go ahead and make their films, despite the presence of so many completely self-centered individuals in fandom. Otherwise those of us who still enjoy horror films would be screwed.

Thanks for the info Gary! And also a HUGE thanks for making one of the best slasher flicks EVER! I was fortunate enough to watch a 35mm print of it a few months ago at The Mayfair theatre here in Ottawa, and everyone had an absoloute blast Best of luck to you and your future endeavors!

PS: Hot tub scene = pants-crappingly hilarious.

Am I the only one who LOVED the hot tub scene? It had a great look about it.

Dear Horror Fanz: IMHO a horror film is like a roller coaster ride, you have to take the audience up real slow-like and then dive them down and hit some hard curves and dips and turns and dips and…
and you have to mix in moments that are either comic or off-the horror track (like the hot tub scene) so that you can release the audience enough to tense ‘em up again. If you don’t let ‘em off the tension hood now and then, you de-sensitize them to the shocks. But I’ll give you this… the hot tub scene in Madman between Gaylen Ross and Tony Fish is pure cheese. ; )

Trust me… if I’m able to hold onto creative control with whomever is my financial partner in the re-imagining of MADMAN MARZ, I will not disappoint the fans. And to do that, I need your support to build the MADMAN MARZ fan base so I can prove to the studios or other partners that I can bring an audience to the picture. So, I ask you all to please pass the word to your friends to like us on facebook.com/MadmanMarzMovie and follow us @twitter.com/TheMadmanMarz
