Overview
Imagine you and your friends are paired up with your favorite dates and the night is very young. There’s an old, dilapidated mansion just down the road a bit, near the deserted graveyard. It would be the perfect place to party… let loose… lose your souls. What you and your friends don’t know is that inside the house lives an ancient sorcerer, a master of the dark arts. He has sacrificed many to give eternal life to his beloved, comatose bride. Just a few more humans are needed…. The masterful wizard is about to begin another evening of magic… conjuring up a dizzying array of monstrous creatures: hellish lizards, skeletal reapers, demons, zombies, ghosts, lust-crazed muck men, luring hags and spider women, all driven by a blind, killer instinct. Special guests will be treated to an onslaught of twisted supernatural torture until each begs to die!

Viewing Notes
Such an odd little flick that I’m surprised hasn’t been re-released on home video. While it’s not a great movie (there’s just too much going on to keep it contained) it does have a lot of interesting touches. The practical FX are pretty solid too. It would be nice to see a better presentation of this (outside of YouTube).
