The funny thing is I have all three of these on DVD.

Wasn't there a head in the fish tank in Motel Hell also around the same time?

[Anthropophagus]

Most effective in He Knows You're Alone, I thought, even though Eyes is a superior film IMO.

[ronnie21]

Not sure on the Motel Hell, havent seen it in so long..
Now , anthropop, Eyes, never even got a theater release around here PA and del. But i seen the ad for it in New York post April of 81..

The best head in a fishtank scene is in The Silent Partner made around the same time. Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned already.

[Body Boy]

Her head isn't decapitated, but a woman is drowned by having her head shoved into a fishtank in 1981's Lady, Stay Dead. Though it wasn't released until 1984 I believe.

[Erick H.]

Rain Dog is right,THE SILENT PARTNER (about a psychotic bank robber) beat them all to the punch.

[Rain Dog]

It's a great film. Ingenious plotting and Christopher Plummer plays one of the scariest screen psychos.
