(1975) Erik Stern, Kay Neer, Jeremiah Beecher, Robin Sherwood.  This is a pretty bizarre American-made drive-in oddity.  Definitely rated "R" for nudity and violence.  The Love Butcher is the perverse story of dual-personality maniac named Caleb and Lester.  Caleb is a bald gardener with big honkin' glasses who's been pushed around all his life.  However, on occasion he...
