Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is primarily regarded for being one of the few non-pornographic works starring lead actress Shannon Wilsey (who later took on the name Savannah). The film's reception had a profoundly negative impact on the actress; despite the fact that it was well received for its comedic merits, she felt mortified about her performance. In an interview for the E! True Hollywood Story documentary on the life of the actress, former boyfriend Billy Sheehan recounted how Wilsey was utterly humiliated during the film's premiere. Whenever the audience would laugh at one of her lines she could not differentiate whether they were laughing at her personally or the character. The experience forever marred Wilsey on a personal level and she soon afterwards resigned herself to pursue a career exclusively in the adult entertainment industry.
- GoofsThe professor's clothes disappear after he injects himself with the serum. However, his blood becomes visible when he is punched and spits some onto floor.
- Quotes
Kevin Dornwinkle: I'm injecting the serum into the bunny rabbit now.
- Crazy creditsThe fire marshall is listed in the credits as "Highest paid guy on the set."

Featured review
Dumb, throwback nudie pic
My review was written in June 1990 after watching the movie on Republic Pictures video cassette.
The sex tease genre introed nearly a decade ago with "Zapped" and recently sequelized as "Zapped Again" is streamlined via the top-heavy video "The Invisible Maniac". Voyeurs will dig this one.
Harking back in many ways to the original volyeur films of 30 years back, "The Immoral Mr. Teas" and "Paradiso", "Maniac" is chock full of characters given to peeping. Principal among these is Noel Peters as a boy treated cruelly by his mom who grows up to become a nutty physicist. He develops an invisibility formula and, before you can say Claude Rains, develops megalomania.
Escaping from an insane asylum after he has killed four scientists at a conference, he finds employment as a substitute physics teacher for high school physics students. However, instead of nerds these are oversexed coeds, led by beautiful blonde Shannon Wilsey (better known as the porn superstar Savannah) and statuesque Melissa Moore, latter a young vet of horror pics like "Scream Dream".
Pic uses invisibility for the standard shower room scenes and magical clothes removal, but, unlike its forebears, it emphasizes a horror format of Peters killing the youngsters.
Its low budget is a major drawback as the invisibility effects are so poorly done that some scenes consist largely of a crew member throwing things in the frame from behind the camera.
Saving grace is copious amounts of topless footage featuring attractive young women. Nudity should keep undiscriminating home video and pay-cable fans happy, but its removal for tv grindslots (such as Gilbert Gottfried's USA cable gig) would effectively kill this feature.
Peters overacts while using a voice reminiscent of Adam West. He would have done much better to match West's straight ahead "Batman" approach. Moore and Gial Lyon literray stuck out among the actresses on view.
