...Fugitive is now a witness for the prosecution. Sam Reese Sheppard, son of the Ohio doctor whose trial for the murder of his wife inspired the "Fugitive" TV series and movie, has relented and will not contest the exhumation of his mother's body by state prosecutors. "It is emotionally wearing," Sheppard said Monday, complaining of the 45 years prosecutors have had to investigate this case and of the further delays the exhumation will pose for his $2 million suit for the wrongful imprisonment of his father.

And some of them ?- self-styled neo-minutemen with a serious beef against King Sam and the arsenal to back it up ?- may well lock, load and decide to do something about...
...genre remains John Carpenter's Halloween (1978). Despite some Hollywood credentials (including a couple of name stars), it was shot for a mere $325,000 and had the deep-focus single-mindedness of a true horror exploiter. Imitators came thick and fast after that; by the time of Sam Raimi's The Evil Dead (1982), the genre had descended into gruesome lunacy...
