Good morning, House of Madness demons:
Just imagine what kind of vehicle you could come up with if you took every manufacturer's top end model, and combined them into one super-car. You'd be doing decadent donuts in the parking lot while you listened to music in style, oblivious to everything going on outside your little bubble. Let's say you got a hold of every pizza joint's recipe book, and mashed them all together in order to create your own power packed pie that would leave a high ranking diplomat drooling all over his precious Armani suit. Delicious. Now, take every horror movie from the 80's, dial the effects and casualties up to 11, and you've got "Night of the Demons", a film that parties hard, and absolutely kills it in every aspect.
It's Halloween, and for the average kid it's time to head out and score some free candy. For Judy (Cathy Podewell) and her friends however, trick-or-treating is simply lame, and they head to the abandoned funeral home up on the hill for some morbid fun of their own. As the party kicks off with some coffin tricks, mirror magic, and bodacious beer, a seance that everyone thought would be fun unleashes a demon from Hell, and everyone's night is about to get a lot worse. What started out as a wild party in a spooky house quickly morphs into a wild ride into the netherworld, and everyone must fight if they want to live. One major problem, how are you supposed to fight if you're already dead? If anyone is to live through the night and escape with their lives, they'll have to be quick on their feet and come up with a plan that doesn't involve them turning into demons.
As I mentioned earlier, "Night of the Demons" is a little bit of everything from the 80's all rolled up into one fabulously insane film. The campy dialog and corny acting quickly turns into gory and gruesome fun, and the special effects and make-up are miles ahead of their time. Extra points for gratuitous nudity as well, as it just wouldn't feel like an 80's flick without some good old fashioned boobage. They definitely don't make them like this anymore, and if they tried, they'd most certainly be cast out of Hollywood, and be demonized themselves.
