Plot

One evening, the Collins family discovers their maid, Mrs. Murdock, dead at the end of their steps; her neck is broken. Evidently, she had an accident; now they need a new babysitter for an upcoming party. The sensible Helen meets little Susan Collins at the discount market and likes her, so she offers to do the job. She does not know Susan's teenage brother Mark: technically skilled and good in school, but restive and cunning. Mark also listens regularly to German marching music from the Third Reich. As soon as the parents have left, he psychologically terrorizes Helen and his sister with electronic tricks. Williams (Karl Taylor), a school jock whom Mark burned earlier in science class, is out for revenge; Mark murders him with a fencing sword.

Ultimately, Mark himself is killed when Helen knocks him onto a spiked German helmet. Mark's parents come home to find the house in shambles; they blame Helen and have her arrested, unaware that Mark lies dead upstairs. Secretly, Susan dons her late brother's glasses and proceeds to listen to his Nazi music and the cycle begins anew.

Twisted (Stevie Nicks song)

"Twisted'" is a track from the soundtrack of the 1996 film Twister. While writing the song, Nicks called Lindsey Buckingham to produce the song. Nicks later called in Mick Fleetwood to play drums. Nicks and Buckingham both share lead vocals on the song. The soundtrack version of the song also features Federico Pol on bass. The track was mixed by Dan Marnien and Engineered by Ken Allardyce.

Enchanted Version

The 1995 demo of the song with Nicks featured on most of the instruments was released on the box set Enchanted. Nicks released the demo because she felt it was important to give the original.

Nicks said the following about the song in the Enchanted liner notes in 1998:

"When I was asked to do a song for the movie 'Twister', I had my friend Rebecca read the script. She then gave me the "Reader's Digest" condensed version so I could decide whether to do it or not. As she explained it to me, I realized that this really was... MY story. It was about people who had extreme jobs... like chasing tornadoes, or being in a rock band. Anyway... I really handcrafted this song for the movie. Unfortunately, if you saw the movie, you missed the song... and you certainly missed my message. So I decided to give you the original demo, recorded March 10, 1996 on a 4-track Tascam by my assistant extraordinaire, Karen Johnston. I was living in a beach house overlooking Sunset Boulevard and the Pacific Coast Highway, and beyond that, always... the ocean. When I decided to put this in the "box set," I called Jesse Valenzuela and he put some "vibe" mandolin on it. I love this song. I hope this time... you will understand it."

Twisted (Vandalism song)

"Twisted" is a song by Australian band Vandalism, the second from their debut album Turn the World On.
