Most of you will not remember this crazy made-for-TV movie that Busey was in in 1990 called Hider in the House but it was hilarious. Basically, Busey is a psychopath who just get's out of jail after like 30 years for murdering his parents, then he likes this one chick he meets in the neighborhood, but she already has a family. So he ends up, in conjuction with all kinds of other wierd things, hiding in the Attic of her house and carves out wierd tunnels and peep holes and gets totally obsessed with the family, stealing their family photo's and pasting them up in his little hideaway, tearing up the picture of her husband in the wedding photo - in a really really funny part, the house cat finds his little hiding spot and starts meowing too loud, so he snaps it's neck. The dad has some fling with another woman and then Busey steps in to kill the dad - but he ends up dead and the tragic events bring the family back together in a cheesy happy ending.
Very good for laughs. A Lifetime Channel original movie, and as you can imagine, a rare, rare, gem of brilliant acting. or Not.
Anyway a lot of people I know have seen this movie, so it's an in-joke around here that any time someone is home alone, we call them the Hider in the House.
