A Night to Dismember is an American 1983 horror film, produced and directed by Doris Wishman. The film stars pornographic actress Samantha Fox. The special effects were provided by Les Lorrain, visual effects by John A. Bezich.
Wishman decided to make a horror film after John Carpenter's 1978 film Halloween's great success and the following wave of slasher films. She won pornographic actress Samantha Fox and began shooting in 1979.
The film was nearly finished and being processed when the processing lab declared bankruptcy. A disgruntled employee destroyed footage from several films, including more than half the footage from A Night to Dismember.
Wishman had presold the film to distributors and was therefore forced to finish the movie. She re-wrote, re-edited and even re-shot parts of the film with new actors. In 1983, the film was finally released.[1]
