Horror Hunks: Dan Shor in Strange Behavior, 1981


' A scientist is experimenting with teenagers and turning them into murderers.'


It's October, and FH readers know that means Horror Hunks are back for the remainder of the month. Although filmed in New Zealand, the setting is in a sleepy American town, in which a series of gory murders committed by local teenagers are linked to a twisted brainwashing scheme by a deranged behavioral psychologist.


The nude scene in Strange Behavior is brief, but erotic due to the casualness in which Pete (Dan Shor)  walks naked towards the bathroom to hand his policeman father (Michael Murphy) a towel.  Although I have been working Horror Hunks for many years now, this scene caught my eye awhile ago and was going to be the first piece in the HH series.


It took me awhile to find a copy of the film as it was listed where I found with the film's other title, 'Dead Kids.'   I found the film in the summer then put it away only pulling it out to watch just last month.  The adorable curly headed Dan may be familiar to many for his roles as Billy the Kid in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure as well as roles on Cagney & Lacey, Beauty and the Beast, Thirtysomething, Star TrekL The Next Generation, The X Files and more recently on Blue Bloods and Bull.
