El héroe anda suelto (1968)
Cuando el viejo actor Byron Orlock comprueba que la vida real supera con creces la violencia de sus películas de terror, decide abandonar el cine. Sin embargo, el joven y ambicioso director Sammy Michaels lo convence para interpretar un último papel, muy distinto a los habituales. Mientras tanto, un veterano del Vietnam, que había sido siempre un hombre amable y cordial, empieza a sentir una enfermiza fascinación por las armas. En un arrebato de locura dispara y mata a su mujer, a su madre y a todo el que se cruza en su camino. Acosado por la policía, se refugia en el cine donde se estrena la última película de Orlock, que se encuentra allí para despedirse definitivamente del público. El monstruo cinematográfico tendrá que enfrentarse al monstruo real.
