After receiving a pair of metal dentures, Luther goes on a rampage and bites the necks of people as well as chickens. This leads him to a long stint in prison. After 20 years, Luther (<strong>Edward Terry<\/strong>,&nbsp;<em>The Children<\/em>) receives parole for being a model prisoner. Once he&#8217;s free, he reverts to his old Geek ways at a supermarket and kills a woman in the parking lot. He escapes by hiding in the back of a car driven by Hilary (<strong>Joan Roth<\/strong>) and takes her hostage, later terrorizing her daughter Beth (<strong>Stacy Haiduk<\/strong>,&nbsp;<em>Superboy<\/em>&nbsp;TV series) and boyfriend Rob (<strong>Thomas Mills<\/strong>) when they drop by the house.
