Trace Thurman Horror Queers Podcast Practical effects reign supreme in Kevin S. Tenney's slight but fun Halloween bash. Rated: 3/5 Oct 28, 2024 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast Not a lot of character or plot, but Night of the Demons is a really fun time with some stylish direction and great FX. Perfect for Halloween and both Angela and Suzanne are icons. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 24, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This is too silly to generate any semblance of unsettling atmosphere, but the monster makeup is effective. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 28, 2023 Full Review Kevin Carr Fat Guys at the Movies Classic 80s slasher styles work in this possession film, playing off the sex, drugs, and rock & roll scares of its era. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 20, 2023 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid It's willfully preposterous, featuring a band of characters that would never, ever actually be friends in real life, and heading out into the night to do something so dumb that it's inconceivable. Rated: 3/4 Sep 16, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The order of the victims is mostly unpredictable and the third act is largely unrelenting in its terrors. Rated: 3/10 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Jaxon P. A fun time my favorite horror movie to watch on Halloween Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Nick O The ultimate Halloween party flick. Crack a brew, bang your head and get possessed!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Farah R Laughably bad effects and terrible writing might put off some viewers, but true genre fans can tolerate these awful campy horror movies of the 80s. I suggest skipping this one if you’re looking for something worth your time. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Landon J I think this was a disappointing take on the demon/zombie survival with lackluster scares and some really goofy situations. I think I'd skip this honestly if you're looking for more than a time waster. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/24 Full Review Melissa L If you like '80s horror movies, you should check this one out. I grew up in the '80s, and I don't know how I missed seeing this one. Definitely recommend it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Audience Member I was in the mood for 80s horror last night and love watching 80s horror . I find myself laughing at the bad humor alot in this movie. Oh because having a party on Halloween at a funeral parlor is a fantastic idea. The makeup was really good. 5.3/10 it was ok for the makeup and bad humor.
