Deadly Games is a 1982 American slasher film written and directed by Scott Mansfield, and starring Alexandra Morgan, Jo Ann Harris, Sam Groom, Steve Railsback, Denise Galik, Colleen Camp, and June Lockhart.

At a local diner, Keegan runs into several female friends and acquaintances from high school: Mary Adams, Chris Howlett, Carol Bailey, Randy, and Susan Theresa "Sooty" Lane, the latter of whom is married to Roger.

Mary informs her the man is Billy Owens, a former classmate of theirs, and a Vietnam War veteran who sustained significant injuries in battle.

The introverted Billy now works at the local movie theater changing film reels, and has a close friendship with Roger over their mutual service in Vietnam.

After the party ends, a ski-masked assailant attacks Randy in the pool, binding her legs with wire and anchoring her to a grate at the bottom, effectively drowning her.

Later, Roger sits in the theater basement and recounts to himself how he unintentionally caused Linda's death by trying to simply frighten her; the thrill he received from her dying, however, propelled him to begin actively committing murders.
