12 Days: Peter Fox: in Mother's Day

Two brothers kidnap and brutalize three women for the pleasure of their demented mother.

I wasn't expecting much when I went looking for an actor and movie for a 12 Days Mother's Day post.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Given my love of the weaving of holidays with horror, I was especially happy to find this scene from the 1980 horror flick Mother's Day.


Actor Peter Fox made his film debut in 1977's  Airport 77.  He went on to guest star on a variety of shows and movies in the seventies and eighties including; The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, Eight is Enough, Family and Hill Street Blues.  He also guested on the very short lived Manimal, starring Simon MacCordinale who I feature earlier this week. Fox also had regular roles on Delta House, The Waltons and  Knots Landing,

In Mother's Day, Fox plays 'The Dobber', a hot to trot baseball player who gets a little ahead of himself in this embarrassment scene from the film.  Fox worked more sporadically in the 90's, and little in the 2000's.  He seems to be embarking on a comeback however, with a TV movie currently in post production and due for future release.
