He Knows You’re Alone is a 1980 horror film directed by Armand Mastroianni, written by Scott Parker and edited by George Norris. It was one of the first horror films to be influenced by the success of 1978's Halloween and shares a number of similarities with that previous hit. The film was shot in Staten Island New York, the entire production from script to final edit taking only six months. The original music score was composed by Alexander and Mark Peskanov. The movie marked the first movie appearance of actor Tom Hanks who played a relatively small part. In fact it was said that Hanks' character was originally written to be killed off in the film, but because the filmmakers liked him so much they cut the death from the film. It is marketed with the tagline "Every girl is frightened the night before her wedding, but this time... there's good reason!".
