After taking shelter in a spooky old mansion, a bunch of partying teens discover a ouija board and decide to spend the night. As you do. A warlock promptly pops up bent on sacrificing them to revive his bride. This he sets out to achieve by unleashing a shitload of crappy monsters: muck-men, small reptilian demons, giant spiders, an arachnid woman, an octopus-like creature with electric tentacles, a skeletal witch, a Grim Reaper statue, a vampiric boy in a monk’s habit, and a large group of zombies.
Recently restored in 4K, this crappy 1986 horror achieved cult status largely as a result of its unavailability. One reviewer described it as “a go-for-broke 1980s horror buffet that offers some surprisingly good monster effects and some unsurprisingly abysmal acting and writing.”
This Bristol Bad Film Club screening is a Halloween ‘treat’. Go here for more information and tickets.
