Don't Go Near the Park! is a 1979 horror fantasy film directed by Lawrence David Foldes and written by Linwood Chase.The film follows the story of Bondi, an adolescent American girl who runs away from home and lives with two other runaway children, all sharing an abandoned ranch property with an elderly lady. Unbeknownst to the children, the elderly lady and Bondi's biological father are a brother and sister pair of cannibals who retain youth by eating the internal organs of young people. A local newspaper journalist notices the growing epidemic of illegal organs harvested and the dead bodies of victims arising, and joins Bondi and her friends to stop the killers.Considered one of the prominent "Video Nasties" of its era and often referenced in connection with similar "Don't Go In the..." horror film titles such as Don't Go in the House, Don't Go Near the Park! was banned in the United Kingdom upon its original release date for its graphic depictions of gore and violence.See also: Bones and All (2022), which has a very similar plot. | |

Evil Mentor | |
| Don't Go Near the Park! / int_9ab3da1a | comment |
Evil Mentor: Bondi's father serves as this for Bondi herself, who learns from him a lot about the natural world and picks up some of his views. His teachings lead her to, at the end of the film, attempt to rip open Nick's stomach and remove his organs, but he screams and she stops, looking up at the viewer with an ambiguously creepy smile. | |

Gorn | |
| Don't Go Near the Park! / int_e542d889 | comment |
Gorn: The film features copious scenes of victims having their stomach ripped open; blood and internal organs are seen. The goriest scene features a teenage hippie getting her foot caught in a bear trap; incapacitated, she is pushed to the ground, her blouse is torn open, and a cannibal squeezes her stomach open to expose her liver while she screams in agony. | |
