Practical effects reign supreme in Kevin S. Tenney's slight but fun Halloween bash.

Rated: 3/5

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

Film Frenzy

This is too silly to generate any semblance of unsettling atmosphere, but the monster makeup is effective.

Rated: 2.5/4

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
