Doom Asylum is a 1988 American comedy slasher film written by Rick Marx and directed by Richard Friedman.
In the film, a lawyer is disfigured in a car accident. He revives during his own autopsy and goes on a killing spree. A decade later, he lives in a mental asylum. He defends his new home against perceived intruders.




Plot


Attorney Mitch Hansen and his fiancée Judy LaRue get into a car wreck that results in Judy being killed. During an autopsy on the seemingly-dead Hansen (which disfigures his face), he wakes up and kills the medical examiners.
Ten years later, a group of friends, including Judy's daughter Kiki, have a picnic near the mental asylum where Hansen was held. A punk band is using the asylum to practice some songs. However, Hansen still inhabits the asylum and plans to go after any perceived intruders.
