Meatcleaver Massacre is a 1977 American slasher film directed by Keith Burns and Ed Wood, credited to the pseudonymous Evan Lee.

It was re-released under the shorter Meatcleaver Massacre title in an alternate version that features a bookending prologue and epilogue narrated by Christopher Lee.

Afterward, a malcontent student, Mason Harrue, and his friends Sean Allen, Dirk Kramer, and Phil Jones, get drunk and go driving through the city.

Sean goes on a walk in the desert to clear his head, but is haunted by disembodied voices and sees a vision of Cantrell's blood, deceased daughter.
