Our month of John List titles begins with the original The Stepfather (1987).Starring a magnetic Terry O'Quinn, this Reagan-era slasher film is the perfect takedown of outdated "father knows best" patriarchal beliefs.Plus: a debate about 'teenage' nudity; appreciating the production design; a gory opening; and a film where the dog doesn't die.Wanna connect with the show?
