Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker (1981) dir. William Asher

“I adored her. I loved her whiskey voice; she had this voice that just reeked of soul and sweetness. She was like the Billie Holiday of the dispossessed.” Stacy Keach “She had talent, yes but God she was exhausting.” John Waters "The last thing my mother said to me was, 'SuSu, your life is a celebration of everything that is cheap and tawdry.' I've always liked that, and I've always tried to live up to it." Susan Tyrrell

Died on this day: the truly wild maverick “outsider actress” Susan Tyrrell (née Susan Jillian Creamer, 18 March 1945 – 16 June 2012). “Actor often cast in sleazy, raunchy roles” was The Guardian’s headline for Tyrrell’s obituary. Seriously - what greater career summation could an actress possibly hope for? She brought nuance, humanity and perversity to her portrayals of grotesques, harridans, shrews and alcoholics. For better or for worse, off-screen the hard-drinking Tyrrell wasn’t dissimilar from the characters she played. And as Michael Musto concluded in his Village Voice tribute, “Hollywood never really embraced her – she was too strong, fiery, talented, unsculptable. Too unique.” Films I’ve loved her in: Fat City (1972), Andy Warhol’s BAD (1976), I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (1977), Forbidden Zone (1980), Angel (1984) and its 1985 sequel Avenging Angel, Big Top Pee-Wee (1988), Cry-baby (1990) and Powder (1995). But if you’ve never seen a Tyrrell film, I’d recommend starting with ultra-freaky 1981 horror movie Butcher Baker Nightmare Maker (aka Night Warning) as a starting point. She’s ferocious in that one!

Trailer

TV spot

Terror begins when a night of murder and bloodshed leads bigoted police detective Joe Carlson (Bo Svenson) to try to frame orphaned high school basketball player Billy Lynch (Jimmy McNichol). However, Billy’s aunt Cheryl (Susan Tyrrell) is the real knife-wielding culprit, and with Billy about to graduate, her twisted urge to keep him all to herself is about to erupt in a wave of carnage. No one is safe when an unstable lawman and a psychotic aunt converge in a shocking climax you’ll never forget!
