The Comeback (also known as The Day the Screaming Stopped or Encore) is a 1978 British psychological horror slasher film[1] directed and produced by Pete Walker and starring Jack Jones, Pamela Stephenson, and David Doyle.[2] Its plot follows a successful but dormant American singer who retreats to a remote manor in Surrey to record an album; there, he is followed by a psychopath—donning a hag mask—who murdered his ex-wife.
