Night of the Demons (1988)
Happy Friday once again my fellow Retroholics! This weeks pick is 1988's Night of the Demons, directed by Kevin Tenney, a classic horror film backed by a powerful synth intro and a rockin' goth metal soundtrack.
It's Halloween night and outcast Angela Franklin and her friend Suzanne are throwing a party at Hull House, an abandoned mortuary suspected of being haunted. Judy Cassidy's boyfriend Jay asks her to join him at the party with Max and Frannie. After inviting himself, bully Sal Romero scares them when he jumps from a casket wearing a demons mask.
Stooge, Roger and Helen show up uninvited but when the batteries go dead in the radio the group decides to play party games and Angela suggests a seance. By using a mirror they would look at their past life but Helen sees a demon and freaks out. The mirror smashes on the floor and they all begin hearing noises from the basement when a demon escapes the furnace. Now with it possessing them will anyone escape Hull House alive?
As I mentioned before the intro song is great, along with intensive shrieking synths throughout the film to set the tone. If you're looking for some adrenaline inducing horror themed dark synths I highly suggest the extremely possessive sounds of Alessandro Parisi's Le Porte Emertica from Giallo Disco Records.
So if you're looking for a cheesy 80's horror flick this weekend give this one a watch! Till next week Rockers, have fun and be safe!
