* AlanSmithee: There's some dispute as to who actually directed most (or all) of the film. Depending on who you ask, Umberto Lenzi directed the entire movie, but insisted his name be taken off the film and credit given to Kirkpatrick, Kirkpatrick handled the primary filming but kept Lenzi on as a consultant, or somewhere in between. Lenzi himself espouses the middle view, insisting that "''Welcome to Spring Break'' is the work of Harry Kirkpatrick."

''Nightmare Beach'', or ''Welcome To Spring Break'', is a 1988 slasher movie written by Harry Kirkpatrick and (with some dispute further elaborated on below) credited as jointly directed by him and Umberto Lenzi.

Diablo, the leader of a motorcycle gang, is convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of a young woman. He defiantly snaps at the victim's sister that he's innocent and he'll be back for revenge.

A year after the execution, murders start happening in the middle of Spring Break festivities, and they all involve the victim being electrocuted, just like a certain gang leader.
