Again, it’s fitting that we get news of Waters’ Funko figure today. After all, his cult classic horror-comedy Serial Mom with Kathleen Turner, Sam Waterston, Ricki Lake, and also Matthew Lillard opened today back in 1994.
It tells the tale of happy housewife Beverly who has a charmed life – a beautiful suburban home, a successful dentist husband, and two normal teenagers. However, when one of her son’s teachers speaks disparagingly of the boy at a parent-teacher conference, Bev runs the instructor over in the school parking lot. Suddenly she has an insatiable taste for murder. Six homicides later, the cops get wise to her crimes.
While developing the movie, Waters suggested other actresses for the lead role including Meryl Streep, Kathy Bates, and also Glenn Close, before Turner was cast.
