Butcher, Baker, Nightmare Maker1981
She was lonely. He was all she had. No one would take him from her…and live.
Rejected by her lover, the only man left in Cheryl's life is the orphaned nephew she has raised as her own son. She'll stop at nothing to keep Billy with her. When her plans misfire, she is swept up into an insane frenzy that means death to anyone who comes between her and her obsession. But the investigating detective is convinced that Billy is the real killer - and determined to prove it. Madness and fanaticism work together to drag all concerned into a terrifying vortex of blood-letting that adds a nightmarish twist to the classic Oedipus story.

Night Warning is a fine psychological horror film. As the maniacally possessive aunt and guardian of a 17-year-old boy, Susan Tyrrell gives a tour-de-force performance.
This was surprisingly good (and surprisingly **** for the time), I really enjoyed it!
Director William Asher, whose previous credits include various episodes of I Love Lucy and several beach party movies--most notably, BEACH BLANKET BINGO and HOW TO STUFF A WILD BIKINI--keeps the action rolling at a brisk pace, while Tyrrell turns in one of her best performances as the psychopathic aunt.
