Villains Beginning With 'H'
Horace Pinker
Shocker film (1989)
A serial killer is on the loose in a Los Angeles suburb, and a television repairman with a pronounced limp named Horace Pinker becomes the prime suspect. When the investigating detective, Lt. Don Parker gets too close, Pinker murders Parker's wife, daughter and his biological son. However, his adopted son, Jonathan, develops a strange connection to Pinker through his dreams and leads Parker to Pinker's rundown shop. In a shootout in which several officers are killed, Pinker manages to escape. He targets Jonathan's girlfriend, Allison in retribution.
Another dream again leads Lt. Parker and the police to Pinker, who is in the midst of a kidnapping. This time, Pinker is arrested and quickly convicted and sentenced to die in the electric chair.
Prior to his execution, Pinker reveals that Jonathan is, in fact his son, and as a boy, Jonathan had shot him in the knee trying to stop the murder of his mother. But what they do not realize is that Pinker has made a "deal with the devil"; when he is executed, he does not actually die, but instead becomes pure electricity who is able to possess others to continue his murderous ways.
Eventually, Jonathan, with the aid of Alison's "spirit" devises a scheme to bring Horace Pinker back into the real world and accidentally discovers that Pinker, like all energy sources, is bound by the laws of the real world and uses this limitation (and a television remote) to defeat him.
