There is nothing especially shocking about Shocker, Wes Craven's poor 1989 horror film. The only shocking thing about the film is that Craven, for some reason, wants to remake the film. Horace Pinker is the villain of the film, sent to die in the electric chair after a killing spree. Pinker has made a pact with the devil which spares him from actual death and he instead comes back in the form of pure electricity and is able to possess people. It's all very standard 1980s horror stuff. At one point the spirit Pinker escapes through a satellite TV dish. Mitch Pileggi (famous for his role as Walter Skinner in The X-Files) tries his best with what he is given but the character is a dud. Craven and Universal Pictures had hoped that Shocker would be a big success and eventually lead to a franchise. Shockingly, it didn't.
