Based on that review it came out before TCM.

Oh good Lord, one of the WORST movies ever made. An old buddy of mine had a VHS copy of this, bought because of the name. MST3K material, all the way. Half the movie is just them sitting around in a smoky 70's bar listening to the crappy bar band. Virtually no gore, no horror, and no value whatsoever, except as a humor piece.

Ahhhh, but what a name. When I was a kid renting Beta movies with my friends, we had 3 favorite titles at our tiny little video store:

Driller Killer, Pieces, The Toolbox Murders and Three on a Meathook.

Not a good movie at all, but Three on a Meathook---which I didn't see until about a year after staring at it's box and title a few times a week--represented what you want horror to be. I couldn't get it for ahwile because of my Mom and so that title and box art to me was the pinnacle of taboo, it was the dark twisted forbidden fruit I desperately wanted to see.
But yeah, pretty horrible. But that title!!

I dig THREE ON A MEATHOOK , it's a gory ( at least my copy is ) 70's meanie, with lots of nods to PSYCHO ( check out the opening shots of each film

If The Runaways opened for Cheap Trick in 1978, THREE ON A MEATHOOK would be on the bill with TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE .... or something

Watch it, and love it .... I wish more films were like this

Three on a Meathook is a great Euro Horror movie.

If you like Bava, or Giallos you'll like this one.

Recommended.
