Hack-O-Lantern (1988)

AKA Halloween Night, this out-of-print gem is just ridiculous. I seriously don’t know what’s going on, yet I don’t care. I’m laughing. Hack-O-Lantern gives you everything you want in a trash film and more.

Do you want a satanic grandpa? Yes
Tons of nudity? Yes
Heavy Metal? Yes
Stand up comedy? OK, I guess
Incest? No!
Sex on top of a dead body? Really?!

Whether you like it or not, you can have it all!

I’ll be shocked if this film is ever released on DVD, so this may be the only chance to see this film. If the remix version makes little sense, it’s not my fault. The source material made little sense in itself.

Night of the Demons (1988)

This film will probably be remembered for being one of the last good horror films of the 80’s. I imagine if you’re reading this, you’ve at least heard of it. I think they made a trilogy; that I’ll probably never watch.

This film teeters between good / bad. Meaning, when it’s developing characters, it falls into the cliches of 80’s-ness which is fun. And when it tries to be creepy, it succeeds. So, although I normally don’t like the “possessed-by-an-evil-spirit” thing, this movie is just too entertaining.

So why remix it? Because it’s still a late 80’s horror film. It never had a chance.
