The Night Brings Charlie (1990): Cast & Plot

** The shocking act pulls two unlikely investigators into the case: the new sheriff, Carl Carson, and mortician Walt Parker. As the body count climbs and the killer’s taunting messages echo through the streets, suspicion narrows to Charlie Puckett, a disfigured gardener who wears a mask eerily similar to the attacker’s. Charlie is brought in for questioning, but he refuses to talk, so Carson calls in help from Walt, who had served alongside Charlie in Vietnam. The tension deepens as Walt tries to coax a confession, but Carson remains doubtful about Charlie’s guilt. To flush out the truth, a trap is set that unexpectedly exposes the killer: Walt himself.
