A group of teens decide to party at an abandoned funeral parlor on the outskirts of town on Halloween night. It turns out to be the one night that the demons within the funeral parlor are free to roam. The demons are prevented from roaming any further than an underground stream that encompasses Hull House, the name of the funeral parlor. Of course some of the partying teens get possessed and the fun begins.

This is classic teen horror fun at it's best.

PEOPLE ARE WAY TO QUICK TO JUDGE LOW-BUDGET HORROR FILMS BECAUSE LIKE THIS ONE THEY CAN BE GREAT! THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE! THIS WAS MADE WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL SO I DIDN'T START GETTING INTO IT UNTIL I WAS A TEENAGER. I CAN'T SAY ENOUGH ABOUT IT EXCEPT JOB WELL DONE KEVIN TENNEY!


Cheesy horror fun   January 16, 2007

Night of the Demons could easily fall into the category of forgettable, cheesy, 80's horror films, but it manages to deliver on most accounts despite it's flaws. Taking a well worn plot, a group of teenagers have a Halloween party in a supposedly haunted house and awaken the demons lurking within, Night of the Demons ends up being a pretty fun ride. One by one the teens end up becoming possessed by the evil spirits until it's down to a handful of survivors who survive the night, and there's gorey mayhem in between to boot. 80's scream queen Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead) is here in quite a memorable role, including the memorable use and hiding of her lipstick. For a low budget horror film, Night of the Demons still manages to pack in a good amount of nicely done gore effects, which are reason enough alone to check out this hidden little gem. Since the DVD is from Anchor Bay, you can expect a decent amount of extras to be found, including commentary by director Kevin Tenney (Witchboard), trailers, and an interview with Quigley about her work on the film and career frequently getting naked in horror films. All in all, though it may be cheesy, Night of the Demons still manages to pack enough goods for some horror fun, and don't forget to eat your apple pie.

In the land of forgettable B movies spawned in the 80's, we sometimes find castoffs that have been unkindly disregarded and, by many, forgotten. Night of the Demons is one such film, mixed into the lot because of its budget restraints and somewhat predictable approaches to horror (people in "possessed home" being slaughtered by spirits, demons, etc.) Still, this movie did possess one thing that most of these showing lacked. It had atmosphere that was simply eerie and a playground (Hull House) worth of a classic demonic killing field.
For anyone who doesn't know about the film (without spoiling anything), its Halloween night and some teens decide that they want to spice up their lives a bit. So, they decide to party at Hull House, built upon the scene of brutal slayings predating colonization of the area. Soon, the teens discover that its not all fun and games when dealing with a possessed house, and have to struggle to leave with their lives.
Personally, I find this to be one of the more appealing products from this time, and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a little comedy, some decent special effects that play off the horrific setting, and loads of characters ripe for the plucking.
