Blood Song (also known as Dream Slayer) is a 1982 American slasher film directed Alan J. Levi,[a] produced by Frank Avianca and Lenny Montana, and starring Frankie Avalon and Donna Wilkes.

One day, Paul manages to murder an orderly, and subsequently retrieves a beloved wooden flute given to him by his father before escaping the institution.

Meanwhile, Stanford Bay teenager Marion is struggling to adjust to her disability: She survived a car accident several years prior—caused by her drunken father, Frank—which left her unable to walk without the help of a leg brace.

The two begin to engage in sex, but Paul strangles her to death after he fails to charm her with his flute-playing, and proceeds to dismember her body.

Marion's psychic visions of Paul's actions increase in frequency and intensity, and she eventually runs into him in person disposing of the female hitchhiker's dismembered corpse on a rural beach, making her his next target.

Blood Song was based on a short story by Joseph Shink, who adapted the screenplay with Frank Avianca and Lenny Montana.

[7] Principal photography began in late October 1980[8] on the Central Oregon Coast, including locations in Coos Bay, Charleston,[9] Coquille,[10] and North Bend.

[9] AllMovie's review of the film was mixed, writing, "Blood Song is dumb fun for those in the market for such and there is perverse enjoyment in watching Avalon's inexplicable performance, but don't expect chills or logic.
