Synopsis
The movie Frightmare (1983) is a horror film about Conrad Radzoff, a horror movie star who is long past his prime. Conrad is trapped doing commercials and living off a reputation built decades ago. He plans his own death to go out with a bang, but his loyal fans decide to steal his fresh corpse from the mortuary to party with it all night long. This results in Conrad returning from the grave as a supernatural being, seeking revenge on those who wronged him. He can cause characters to burst into flames without even touching them. Conrad then proceeds to kill people for no good reason, including the directors who wronged him.
