Night of the Demons

ComedyFantasyHorror90 min

A group of high schoolers throw a Halloween party inside an abandoned funeral parlor, then make the mistake of holding a séance that wakes something hungry and violent. Amelia Kinkade, Cathy Podewell, and Linnea Quigley are among the teens caught in the fallout as the guests find themselves trapped inside and increasingly at the mercy of a demonic presence. The setting does a lot of the work here: boarded-up rooms, a crematorium in the basement, and a party atmosphere that curdles fast once the night tips from costumes and dancing into possession and bloodshed.
