Movie Info
A group of teens plan a Halloween party at an abandoned funeral parlor in this well-crafted horror film. The home is rumored to be haunted after the owner slaughtered his family and killed himself years before. The teens plan on scaring their classmates, unaware that demons from hell are released for a night of terror for bad behavior. One by one, the teens fall victim to the evil that dwells within the parlor. The audience is left guessing who, if anyone, will be alive the following morning.

Practically dripping with the blood, sweat and tears of those who set out to make a genuinely good party movie
good effects are mired in a story that is so utterly uninteresting and populated with characters so annoying that the film's brief 90 minutes feel just short of endless
Audience Reviews for Night of the Demons
Super Reviewer
The only reason to watch this, again, is simply for the pretty decent makeup and effects by Steve Johnson, good old fashioned hands on halloween masks and blood.
The new film is full of more seedy outfits and flashy visuals but the gore is about on par with this original. This older film isn't the big rave like the new film, its more lowkey which is slightly better. Its much more gritty and more of a sensible scare fest but by today's standards of course its quite tame and humorous.
