Director: Kevin Tenney
Stars: Cathy Podewell, Alvin Alexis, Hal Havins, Amelia Kinkade
Plot: Angela throws a small Halloween party at Hull House. Judy and her other friends try to make it out alive.
No one is entirely sure what's wrong with Hull House. All they know is that it was built on "unclean land," surrounded by an underground stream, and those who used to live there were brutally killed. In other words, it's a perfect place to party on Halloween, right? Angela thought so. Everything is fine until they try to do a séance, afterwards they spend the rest of the movie fighting for their lives.
This is a great Halloween movie. Night of the Demons is campy, funny, weird, and it was made in the 80's. It's one of those movies you'd want to watch with a bunch of friends while eating pizza and drinking, you know? It has a The Evil Dead (1981) feel to it, though not quite as exciting. There's also a dance scene to Bauhaus' "Stigmata Martyr," which is a little odd but I suppose it represents the demon's possession.
I almost forgot to mention that this movie was remade in 2009. As far as remakes go, it wasn't as bad as it could've been. Edward Furlong (Terminator 2, American History X) plays a small role and, while it was nice to him in something other than Syfy movies like Arachnoquake, I would still rather watch the first Night of the Demons.
