The Comeback (also known as The Day the Screaming Stopped) is a 1978 British slasher film directed by Pete Walker starring Jack Jones, Pamela Stephenson, and David Doyle. 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. The film was first released in the United Kingdom on 16 June 1978 and was subsequently given a theatrical showing at the Barbican Centre in London as part of a Pete Walker retrospective in November 2014. The Comeback is considered to be more conventional than some of Walker's earlier works and has been credited along with Walker's Schizo as “foreshadowing the development of the slasher movie of the 1980s.“
