Log Line: Ten teenagers party at an abandoned funeral parlor on Halloween night. When an evil force awakens, demonic spirits keep them from leaving and turn their gathering into a living Hell.
Director: Kevin Tenney
Writer: Joe Augustyn
Box office – $3.1 million (US)
Filmed in Los Angeles in April 1987
working title Halloween Party
premiered in Detroit in September 1988
Linnea Quigley (Suzanne) and special effects artist Steve Johnson met when she came in to get the mold for her fake breasts done. They were later married.
According to Joe Augustyn, the original script contained a gay couple and an interracial kiss, but was deemed too radical by some of the producers as well as the director.
uncredited Frank Welker provides the voice for Angela when she is possessed.
An “Unrated” version is available on videocassette and DVD in the United States
- The scene in which Angela bites off Stooge’s tongue is a few seconds longer with a little bit more blood.
- When Suzanne gouges out Jay’s eyes, the shot lingers slightly longer, exposing more gore.
- The close up shot of the razor blade ripping from the old man’s throat is slightly extended with more gore. Additional scenes, cut from the R-rated version for content or running time, include:
  - In the convenience store scene at the beginning of the unrated version, Linnea Quigley’s character asks the two male clerks if they have “Sour Balls”. In the R rated version, she simply walks past them, and out of the store.
  - In the unrated version, the party scene is a little longer with more exposition.
  - There are substantially more shots of Angela floating through the hallway.
  - For reasons still unknown, the giant demon head that appears over Hull House at the end of the film has animated glowing red eyes in the unrated version, but does not in the R-rated theatrical cut.
There are 2 sequels and a remake in 2009
