Fade to Black is a 1980 slasher film starring Golden Globe-nominee Dennis Christopher, Eve Brent Ashe, and Linda Kerridge. Mickey Rourke also appears in a small role as a bully and one of the killer's victims. The film was nominated for many Saturn Awards, and Eve Brent Ashe won one for Best Supporting Actress for her short ill-fated role as the antagonist's bullying aunt and very first victim. The film now retains a cult following. Eric Binford is a hollow, chain smoking young man who is also an obsessed film addict whose love of old films extends far beyond his job at a Los Angeles film... distributor's warehouse and endless late night film screenings in his bedroom. For his vast knowledge, he's been bullied by his friends and family. His singular obsession eventually rounds the bend into psychosis after he crosses paths with Marilyn O'Connor , an Australian model and a Marilyn Monroe look-alike who becomes the physical embodiment of his cinematic desires.
