The Love Butcher

The Love Butcher is a 1975 American slasher film directed by Mikel Angel and Don Jones, and starring James Lemp, Kay Neer, Richard Kennedy, and Robin Sherwood.

Caleb begins dissociating and embodying Lester, removing his glasses and gardening outfit, wearing a wig, and dressing and acting as his suave deceased brother.

Under this guise, Caleb begins committing a series of brutal murders in the neighborhood which puzzle the police and a local reporter, Russell.

Later that night, Caleb impersonates a Mexican record salesman and manages to infiltrate Sheila's house, appealing to her love of rock music.

Film scholar Stephen Thrower likens The Love Butcher to "something of a curate's egg, with its sleazy murder theme pulling against a broadly satirical depiction of the killer as super-nerd turned super-stud.
