Marc Sheffler used to work as a stage actor for off-Broadway theater. His break into movies was when he was cast as teenage Junior Stillo in the low-budget Last House on the Left (1972). With that casting in the American exploitation horror film written, directed and edited by Wes Craven in his directorial debut. The film follows Mari Collingwood (Sandra Peabody), a hippie teenager who is abducted, raped, and tortured by a fugitive family on her seventeenth birthday. When they unwittingly seek refuge in her home, the killers face the vengeance of her parents. It is definitely not for the weak and the tag line for it was that audiences had to keep repeating. " It's only a movie, It's only a movie,"
After Last House, Sheffler decided to pursue a career into television writing and production rather than acting. His credits include episodes of "Sister, Sister", "Harry and the Hendersons", "Who's the Boss", and "Charles in Charge" to name but a few. He's also been involved with all kinds of pilots, made for TV movies, and television specials, including the failed "The Little Shop of Horrors" pilot, "The Happy Days Reunion Show" and "The Best of the Hollywood Palace" specials. He also worked with Mel Blanc, the voice of Warner Bros. cartoons, as the writer of How Bugs Bunny Won The West (1978). So, if you are an old school horror fan sit back and enjoy this trip down memory lane with Marc Sheffler.
