Jeepers C This movie is a great seasonal Halloween treat from my childhood. It has monsters coming back from the dead and crashing a Halloween party going on. The students must stop this mayhem, by doing a ritual before the midnight hour. If not, evil will walk the earth forever. It has alot of big star actors in it . This made for TV was well done and is now a rare, nostalgic treat every Halloween 🎃. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/19/24 Full Review Jay H Nostalgia is a powerful drug... this isn't a great movie, but I loved it when I was younger. If you're an adult and you watch it for the first time, it's probably mighty corny. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review James E Watched it when I was a kid. Now it's a tradition to watch it for Halloweenor right before. My whole family likes it. Just wish the had better release it's hard to find we have it on VHS from TV when it aired forever ago and found poor quality dvd but still worth it. It's a classic if you ask me. And one of it's kind. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A made-for-tv Halloween movie that originally aired on November 1, 1985, this movie is cheesy and corny in a perfectly 1980s way, and is so much fun!!!! If you love Halloween, then this movie is a must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member 1985 TVM: Five teenagers sneak into a museum and steal some artifacts and clothes for Halloween pranks and costumes. They unwittingly open up a curse of the dead coming back to life, while reading a scroll in a graveyard. The ghouls run amok in the city, turning the citizens into vampires. One of the resurrected is a dead cheerleader who makes a bond with one of the teenagers. The two must put the artifacts back in synch again to reverse the curse, or the curse never leaves. OK movie, not boring. More of a horror comedy than a straight horror story. Liked the cute relationship between the nerdiest of the five teens and the dead cheerleader. The story from 300 years prior (leading to the curse) involved witches, not vampires. OK, go with it. Stars: Lee Montgomery, Jonna Lee, Shari Belafonte Harper, LeVar Burton, Peter DeLuise, and Dedee Pfieffer. Directed by Jack Bender. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member A reminder of what Halloween used to be (pre 9/11). Miss the days where EVERY house on the block was decorated for Halloween, and schools had Halloween activities. While the movie probably doesn't hold up for today's youth, and most kids would rather sit staring at their phones while this plays on TV, people over 35 should thoroughly enjoy for the sake of nostalgia! Not scary, but a very cute story and excellent Halloween soundtrack! This movie is streamable on Amazon and YouTube. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
