Plot
Mr. Rabbey, the host of a children's television show, is every boys' and girls' favorite.

Remake
A remake, Maniac 2: Mr. Robbie, was shot in 1986 by Joe Spinell and director Buddy Giovinazzo as a sequel to the former's 1980 slasher film Maniac, following a psychopathic children's television show host who murders abusive parents. The short was done to raise financing for a sequel to Maniac (ultimately unmade due to Spinell's death in 1989), and was included with the 30th anniversary edition release of Maniac.
