Attorney Mitch Hansen and his fiancée Judy LaRue get into a car wreck that results in Judy being killed. During an autopsy on the seemingly-dead Hansen (which disfigures his face), he wakes up and kills the medical examiners. Ten years later, a group of friends, including Judy's daughter Kiki, have a picnic near the asylum where Hansen was held. A punk band is using the asylum to practice some songs. However, Hansen still inhabits the asylum and plans to go after any perceived intruders.

Reception
In his overview of 1980s horror films, Scott Aaron Stine declared it similar to other horror comedy films, finding it neither funny nor scary and he said that the film was "sophomoric drivel, the jokes are stale and the special effects are mostly awful."[2]
