Night of the Demons



"Angela is having a party, Jason and Freddy are too scared to come. But you'll have a hell of a time."

- Tagline for the original film.

The Night of the Demons franchise is series of four horror movies originating from The Eighties.

Released in 1987, the original movie features a group of teens having a halloween party in the abandoned funeral parlor. Soon enough, demons within the house are awakened after a séance gone horribly wrong and they start possessing the party-goers one by one.

The film got two sequels in the nineties, latter being a Direct to Video release. A remake was completed in 2009 and was released in September 2010.

Not to be confused with the 1957 Jacques Tourneur film, Night of the Demon, or the 1980 Video Nasty of the same name.
