Night of the Demons (1988)

This cult classic 1988 film has become a staple of Halloween viewing over the years. Underrated director Kevin Tenney (Witchboard) crafted a superbly fun chiller, full of frights, laughs and some memorable set pieces. This film stars one of the most iconic scream queens of the eighties, Linnea Quigley in one of my favorite roles of hers.

Night of the Demons is written by Joe Augustyn and directed by Kevin Tenney. It stars Cathy Podewell, Hal Havins, Alvin Alexis, Harold Ayer, Billy Gallo, Lance Fenton, Jill Terashita, Philip Tanzini, Amelia Kinkade and Linnea Quigley.

Plot Synopsis

On the night of Halloween, 10 teens decide to go to a party at an abandoned funeral parlor. “Hull House”, rumored to be built on an evil patch of land & underground stream, is the place. While starting the party, the teens gather around a big mirror to perform a seance…BIG MISTAKE. They awaken some evil force and find themselves trapped and taken over one by one. Now it’s a battle for who can survive and cross over the stream before going to hell….
