In 1973, eighteen year-old drug addict Jay Jones beat both his parents to death, but was deemed insane and stuck in a Los Angeles asylum. Eight years later, on [[Usefule Notes/Thanksgiving Day|Thanksgiving Day]] weekend, Jay escapes and goes on a PCP fueled rampage, eventually ending up at the secluded ranch house of Harold Bradley, whose friends and family have gathered together to celebrate the holiday. Suffice to say, Jay is going to make the revelers a little less thankful... |

As far as [[The Eighties|eighties]] slashers go, ''Home Sweet Home'' is [[Cliché Storm|exceedingly generic]], but it does have two noteworthy things going for it. One, it was the first (and is still one of the few) horror films set around Thanksgiving; and two, it happened to star famous Hollywood fitness guru "Bodies by" Jake Steinfeld, who gives a deliciously hammy performance as the completely batshit Jay. |
