Do you have problems with your scalp itching?  I know that the easy solution if you do would be to go to the store and grab a bottle of Head & Shoulders.  But why do that, when you can just call on serial killer Frank Zito to get rid of your scalp ENTIRELY!

Welcome to Sunday Bloody Sunday and if you’ve recently eaten, I have to warn you that the clip below is pretty gruesome and may cause nausea.  If you didn’t see the 2012 Maniac remake, then you missed out on little Elijah Wood stepping into the role of a scalp-happy killer who has some Mommy issues to boot.  Quite a few cringe-worthy violent scenes in this one, but for me the scene below takes the cake.  Watch with caution, as Frodo does some nasty damage to one of his unlucky victims.
