Who directed the movie "Serial Mom"?
Some people fantasize about telling off the neighbor who never recycles, but "Serial Mom" took that fantasy a step further and gave us a suburban mom with a mind like Hannibal Lecter's. After Meryl Streep, Glenn Close, and Julie Andrews all passed, Kathleen Turner accepted the role and gave a... killer performance. Who directed "Serial Mom"?

Correct Answer: John Waters
(Source)Ghostface, Michael Myers, and Freddy Krueger might all be scary in their own way, but nothing strikes fear in your heart like condescension from someone's mom. The leg of lamb and iron poker are just for flair. John Waters wrote and directed the film as a black comedy follow-up to "Hairspray" and "Cry-Baby," but the studio hated the violence so much that they demanded changes. Waters won the battle with the studio but lost the war at the box office. He still calls it his favorite movie he's ever made.
