Night of the Demons 2 finally hits DVD on September 25th. Been waiting for this one for a long time.

[FinalBeyond]

I got the third one in a set with another film, and it was very entertaining. Cheesy, but fun. Too bad the 'trailer' was basically the whole plot spoilt.

[Rich]

I remember watching Night of the Demons at a friends house. We rented it from Blockbuster and we all watched it, and I loved it. Then when it hit dvd I got excited and bought it right away, and when I watched it a second time, I did not like it at all.

Lambardo Bava's Demons movies on the other hand, now those are great movies.

[sCabbOy]

I have all 3 on DVD. I hope this release has better extras than the imports that I have. I love all 2 of them but Part 1 is classic with classic one liners!

Eat a bowl of fuck and shit like that. Can't forget Linnea's scene where she pushes her lipstick into her boob.

[Joshg]

I have the first one. It was a riot. 6.5/10. I have been hoping to get NotD2 for a while, (nostalgic reasons.)

[Spade]

I really enjoyed these films. Part 1 is my favorite out of them though. To me it was just far better than parts 2 and 3.

Take care and God bless.

[Lance Lives]

I've been thinkin' about pulling out my old part 2 VHS and checking it out for a while now but haven't gotten around to it. I remember really liking it. Never got to see Part 3 though. Maybe it'll make it's way to disc soon after?

[Joshg]

I always found it funny how Part 3 came to DVD first. And now, we have Part 1 and 3...but the missing link was never found...until now! Hooray! Part 2 looks like fun!

[sCabbOy]

Part 3 is on DVD in the US? Nver knew that.

[Joshg]

It's on DVD in Canada. I'm never sure about the US. Always thought that Canada and the US have basically the same open-ends when it comes to DVDed films. Well, Canada has the American DVD releases. But when it comes to USA having Canadian DVDs, I guess I was never really clear.

Anyways, want a NotD3 DVD? Go to Wal-Mart in Canada around Halloween time. Plenty there! :)

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I LOVE the Night of the Demons series. The original is one of my favorite late 80's splatter flicks.

scab - Haha, Stooge was great. Yeah, your right. He says "Eat a bowl of fuck.....I am here to PARTY!" :lol:

[CharlieBrummel]

Anyone else get the NOTD2 DVD?

[sCabbOy]

Nah, I have a R2 DVD of it but haven't picked up the new one yet.

[Joshg]

Another one I completely forgot about. Hmm, I'll look for Part 2 as well. Then I'll have my NotD trilogy complete on DVD!

Oh yeah! I forget to report back. I bought the Night of the Demons 3 DVD, not too long ago.

It was released in 2004, is barebones (:(), and was released by SEVILLE, which is a thingy in WARNER BROTHERS. Kind of like how Shriek Show is in Media Blasters. Anywho...I think I just got an idea of what to watch tonight! Hooray!

PS, on the NotD3 cover, there's Angela with purple hair, her classic teeth, and she's holding a glass with some blue liquid in it, and two eyeballs on her straws. I'll search for picture.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I still haven't picked up the new Night of the Demons 2 DVD. I'm going to have too, though. I love all 3 of them.

Here's the cover for Night of the Demons 3

Haha, ah I remember that film.

It was a total cheese fest. Silly deaths and a fucking STUPID ending. "I'll come back every year until the demons have been stopped!" etc, but an enjoyable waste of 90 minutes.

"Can you suck a golf ball through a garden hose?"

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Here's a classic scene from Night of the Demons 2. :)

Night of the Demons 2 finally hits DVD on September 25th. Been waiting for this one for a long time.

Love that cover art.

The first 2 are great, some of the best independent horror films ever.

The third one...not so much, but Angela still makes it worth it.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I actually like the new cover as well. I prefer the origina cover, but this is the better of the "remodeled" horror covers, IMO.

[Fowlees]

http://i263.photobucket.com/albums/ii147/bcooms/a2c5_1.jpg

I saw one of these movies back in the early 90's...can't remember which one...i think it was # 2.

I did quite enjoy it if i remember. They tell me the first 2 are good but the 3rd is pants....would you agree with this.

I can't seem to get hold of these films individually on Region 2, but you can get hold of them on e-bay as a collection for around £15.

[Joshg]

I think all three are great. But it definitely goes 1, 2, 3, in order of best to worst.

[sCabbOy]

I like the Part 2 new DVD cover, the VHS is better but I still like it.

These 3 movies are one of the best 1,2,3 punch in horror IMO.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I actually quite like the new cover for NOTD 2, but I still prefer the older one.

scab, I agree. All 3 are great movies, and make a great trilogy.

[Spade]

I think I might watch part one of this today.

[CharlieBrummel]

Compared to 1 an 2, 3 is a bit lacking in personality, but it's not awful.

[nottidelterrore]

One of my favourite horror trilogies. I like NOTD 2 the best followed by the first then the third. I own all three on DVD. The new NOTD 2 could've been so much better but I'm not really complaining because it's better than no DVD at all.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I liked the scene where Angela was dancing at that college party, and they had the song "Rapture" by Morbid Angel playing. It was cool that they included an old school death metal song in it. :)

[Lance Lives]

Which installment has Morbid Angel? I need to rewatch part 2.

[nottidelterrore]

Night of the Demons 2

[Lance Lives]

Sweet, I have that one, I need to check it out now for sure! I've never seen 3 though.

[nottidelterrore]

I like part 3 a good deal. It's my least favourite in the series but it's highly entertaining. The kid from the episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark? with the clown nose is in it. Hahaha.

[sCabbOy]

My favorite part of Part 1 is the very end, the apple pie incident. As a kid I only caught that very last part when it was on HBO... and for YEARS (1994) I had no clue what it was from until I bought NOTD.

That image stuck in my head until then.

[Lance Lives]

I thought that that scene and the scene from Halloween 2 with the kid and the apple were quite disturbing when I was younger. I never was offered one, but if I had been offered an apple at Halloween you could bet your ass I wouldn't have ate it.

[The Dream Master]

LL, absolutely. That scene in Halloween 2 makes me cringe more than anything else in the entire series.

[sCabbOy]

Same here, I never ate the apples I got from tick or treating every again haha.

That is something to scare a young kid... it looked so good in NOTD too.

[Lance Lives]

Didn't he have razor blades coming out of the hole in his neck!?!:eek:

[Joshg]

Yeah, little razors. That scene was teeth-grinding. Eeek!

[Lance Lives]

I just re-watched part 2. It's better than I remembered, I loved it. I really need to find part 3 now.

[sCabbOy]

When I was a kid I loved the part where Linnea Quigley pushed the lipstick into her boob. So gross, but hot.

[Lance Lives]

Agreed, great scene. I loved the nod to that scene in part 2, seeing as how the lipstick is pretty much the catalyst for all the carnage.

[nottidelterrore]

I agree about the Linnea lipstick boob fun.

[Fowlees]

They've got the NOTD Trilogy boxset on e-bay (new and sealed R2) for approx. £16 ($32).

Do you think that is a good price for the 3 films.?

I'm tempted to treat myself.

[Lance Lives]

I just need to find a copy of part 3.

Can somebody tell me why the nun grows a new head in part 2? That has never made sense to me.

[sCabbOy]

well it's less than 12 bucks per disc, plus shipping. It's worth it if you want them. However, you can get 1 and 2 on R1 DVD for cheaper and then get a R2 3.

[nottidelterrore]

I got 1 & 3 for less than $10 a piece. Something around $7 a piece brand new. Part 2 was around $12 or so.

[Cody]

The first movie is a lot of fun. Stooge, Linnea, the apple razors... and my favorite part, Angela's "Stigmata Martyr" dance

oFjR9aJiJB8

I don't like the sequels nearly as much.

[Fowlees]

well it's less than 12 bucks per disc, plus shipping. It's worth it if you want them. However, you can get 1 and 2 on R1 DVD for cheaper and then get a R2 3.

Cheers Scab. I might back off for a while to see if it drops in price.

Failing that i'll probably opt for the R1 dvds...Caiman offer good prices.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I loved the ending too, scab. That's one of my favorite parts too.

Tim...glad to hear you enjoyed 2 alot more this time around. You should be able to find 3 on Amazon or Ebay at a decent price.

[Lance Lives]

Yeah, I've been eying it actually. I have so many movies I want to buy I just can't get caught up, but this one is close to the top of my list.

[Fowlees]

Yahoo!! I just purchased the Night Of The Demons Trilogy boxset on R2 for 11 nicker (£) on e-bay.

[Lance Lives]

What does that equal to in American Cash? I really need to get part 3 and if it would be cheaper that way, hell why not?

[Fowlees]

What does that equal to in American Cash? I really need to get part 3 and if it would be cheaper that way, hell why not?

At current exchange rate, probably about $22.

I must stress that the trilogy boxset on e-bay is Region 2, so you would need a multi region dvd player to be able to watch it , Lance.

It is a hard set of films to get hold of in the UK. The dvd i won on e-bay is from Germany, where its a lot easier to find (there's loads available on e-bay from Germany). That said you would probably have to pay another £20 or so for the shipping to the US.

If its just part 3 your after it would be better to check out Amazon, where Caiman sell these dvds pretty cheap.

[Lance Lives]

Damn, I used to have a Region Free player but it stopped working. I'll just have to get one of those from Amazon I guess.

[sCabbOy]

Lance, just try and hunt region-free cracks for your DVD player(s).

Most DVD players can be hacked to play all regions.

[nottidelterrore]

Yahoo!! I just purchased the Night Of The Demons Trilogy boxset on R2 for 11 nicker (£) on e-bay.

Nice!

I wouldn't mind owning that myself despite already owning the region 1 DVDs.

[Lance Lives]

Lance, just try and hunt region-free cracks for your DVD player(s).

Most DVD players can be hacked to play all regions.

Yeah, that's how my old player was able to play all regions, but I can't find any hacks for my new player.

[nottidelterrore]

My DVD/VCR combo is unhackable so I went out & bought an el cheapo DVD player & hacked it, which I used to watch DVDs from other regions.

[Lance Lives]

Yeah, the new one I have is a DVD/VCR combo, maybe those aren't hackable? The one I used to have hacked was an APEX and it was a trooper but finally died on me.

[sCabbOy]

I usually go to walmart and get their 19.99 DVD players which are easy as hell to hack. It's was easy as hitting 3-4 buttons and entering a code.

[Lance Lives]

I might have to do that because I have the Spaced Collection just sitting on my shelf and I can't watch it anymore, plus there's so much other cool stuff to have that's out of Region.

[nottidelterrore]

If you watch imports on your PC, download a media player called VLC Media Player. It's what I used before I bought my cheapo DVD player. It ignores region encoding or something. I used it when I first got my region 2 Phantasm Sphere set.

[Lance Lives]

That's a set that I really want. When I first saw Battle Royale it wasn't Region 1 so I had to watch it on my friend's computer but I really hate to do that, just something about computer monitors that don't set well with me when watching movies.

[nottidelterrore]

It's understandable. I'd rather watch movies on a bigger screen. I rarely watch movies on my PC.

[Melanie Jarvis]

I own the first two films, but have never gotten around to watching the 3rd. Good movies though.

[sCabbOy]

Good to know. I know theres a way to crack the player I use on my laptop (Win DVD Plat 8) but I love this program, it's really expensive but if you take screen caps, clips of the movie or watch it's worth it. It's nice to be able to take clips from the movie with the program as you watch it.

[God of Thunder]

The first one is absolutely badass, it's one of my favorite movies of all time. Not only does it feature some awesome gore (the bitten off tongue and the razor apple scene come to mind) and creepy atmosphere, it's funny as hell too! I don't have the DVD, but I have the old unrated VHS. That's a movie I can watch voer and over again. I got it with the 2nd one... the 2nd one was ok, but I didn't like it near as much as the first. Although the gore and makeup effects are still pretty sweet in that one. I've yet to see the 3rd one, I've heard good and bad things about it.

[Lance Lives]

Ordered a VHS copy of 3 a bit ago. I can't wait to check it out, you guys have all said it's worth a watch and since I have the other two I might as well get this one.

[nottidelterrore]

I hope you enjoy it. I liked it a good deal but feel it's the weakest in the trilogy. I find it highly entertaining & fun.

[Geomonic]

I also find the third highly entertaining; but in terms of quality... I wouldn't say there's much. It's a funny bloody romp but if you go in expecting a top quality horror film that will change your life then you'll finish it dissapointed.

It's worth a watch though!

For part 3, it is possible to find in the most unlikely of places. I got it on a double layer DVD with Driller Killer in a £1 shop. :p

[Patrick]

I wanna get these. I need to watch my Subspecies boxset I have. I keep forgetting Angus Scrimm is in the first one.

[Lance Lives]

Nah, I'm not expecting a horror classic or anything, but I just hope it's as fun as the first two.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

3 is a fun movie as well, Tim. It's my least favorite of the series, but I still like it alot. Seeing that you like the first 2, i'll think you'll enjoy this one as well.

[nottidelterrore]

Abbie from Night of the Demons 3 is super hot...especially in her cat get-up.

I just realized how gratuitous the nudity was in this movie after watching it a little bit ago.

And the few CGI effects in this movie are laughably terrible.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Zoe Trilling from 2 is the hottest NOTD girl IMO. :D

[Lance Lives]

Damn, that sucks that there is CGI in part 3. I hope that shit gets here soon, I want to watch it! Which one is Zoe Trilling? Oh yeah, does anybody think that one of the girls in part 2 looks like Ben Stiller's wife?

Edit: You probably should think that I guess, because apparently she is. I've been wondering that for years and haven't taken 2 minutes to check out IMDB.

[nottidelterrore]

Zoe Trilling is the dark-haired "bitch" of the group. Hot as hell though.

The CGI in NOTD 3 isn't a whole lot. It's mostly morphing effects & they're brief. It has some nice gore & cheesy effects that easily outweigh the CGI.

And yep, that's Christine Taylor in NOTD 2. Another hottie.

[Lance Lives]

The nice girl from part 2 is pretty hot too, not Mouse but the one that survives.

[nottidelterrore]

Bibi(Cristi Harris) is my favourite Night of the Demons girl....behind Linnea Quigley(and her behind. Hah!). I thought she was absolutely hot in NOTD 2.

[Lance Lives]

I personally think that Linnea looks different in all of her movies. I've never really thought she was SMOKING hot, but she's alright and I think she's looking her best in this one.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

If Linnea didn't have that wig on in Return of the Living Dead, i'd say she looked the best in that. Hell, I still say she looks good in it.

[sCabbOy]

I think Linnea's best look was Savage Streets. Aside from her being a minor, she was really cute in it.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Yeah, she was cute in that too. I LOVE Savage Streets. That's my favorite exploitation film of the 80's.

[Lance Lives]

I remember thinking she looked weird in SNDN, but I wasn't really paying TOO much attention to her face.

[nottidelterrore]

I remember thinking she looked weird in SNDN, but I wasn't really paying TOO much attention to her face.

Nor was I. :D

I thought she looked best in Return of the Living Dead but could've lost that stupid wig/hairdo.

[Lance Lives]

I dug part 3. It was actually better than I was expecting. I wish they could've used the original Hull House though, the new one really didn't fit as good. Angela was lookin' good as always though, and there was a lot of nice looking gals to peep at.

I have to say though, I get the BIGGEST feeling that Kevin Tenney watched Reservoir Dogs and Full Metal Jacket before or during the writing of this script.

Can anybody tell me what happens between the part where the virgin girl is about to be chased by the demon cop and the part where she apparently walks back through the water barrier? My tape like skipped that part, it was weird.

[girlychaos]

I watched the first one last night. I enjoyed it.

The Judy girl was too annoying though...even for a cheesy 80's slasher. I really wanted the demons to get her. :p

I haven't watched parts 2 and 3 though.

[Fowlees]

I'm halfway through watching the first film at the moment. I haven't see it for about 15years. It's a great movie.I'm enjoying it more now than when i did previously. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments. Sal is quite a chuckle !!

[sam hane]

I believe if I'm not mistaken the house used for original Hull House was torn down...I thought the house really detracted from part 3, it was almost like a brand new house and Hull House is supposed to be run down. It just didn't fit.

[Fowlees]

I bought the trilogy on ebay a few weeks back , and have finally finished watching them. I saw parts 1 and 2 years back, when i was a kid, and didn't think much of them.

But this time round i really enjoyed them. Good characters too which always help. Well worth the money i spent.

[girlychaos]

I'm very curious about parts 2 and 3. I might get them soon.

[Scarecrow]

Just watched this film for the first tiem last night, and it was pretty cool. Seemed a rift on Evil Dead and Demons but worked well enough. The zombie-possessed people were cool. Avoided some cliches with nice twists with Rodge rurviving, the boyfriend and other guy not making it.

The acse made it sound like "Angela" was in some way scary, but she was just another teenager, a bit of a stereotype eighties goth, posessed like the others but didn't really bother me. Cool film overall.


- Scarecrow

[Rich]

I guess this film was like a clash of The Evil Dead and Demons, but sadly it is nowhere near as good as either film.

I have fond memories of this film though. I remember when I was in 7th grade, me and a bunch of people went over our friend Diana's house and decided to rent it because we all loved horror films and the front cover looked cool. We ordered pizzas and dipped into her parents' wine collection and had a good time. :D

The movie was a blast. It was fun. We all laughed at the special effects. It was one of those popcorn film with sensless nudity and jump scare scenes and medeocre special effects.

I reciently re-watched it after purchasing it on dvd and I have got to say, I think I enjoyed the wine a hell of a lot more then the movie, because that movie did nothing for me the second time I watch it.

[i am SAW]

1 was good, 2 sucked, never seen 3.

[Fowlees]

This is a good film alright...i like all 3 of them, but the first is probably the best IMO.

[Scarecrow]

So they bring Angela back? didn't even know there were sequels! Seems a bit odd picking on Angela, she wasn't really any more important than the rest in Part 1.


- Scarecrow

[The Dream Master]

All I know is that Rodger is one of the best horror characters of all time. :sniffle:

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Stoodge is hilarious:

"Eat a bowl of FUCK! I am here, to party!"

:sniffle:

[Scarecrow]

- Scarecrow

[Apocalypto]

I guess this film was like a clash of The Evil Dead and Demons, but sadly it is nowhere near as good as either film.

I actually find the first two NOTD films far more entertaining than any of the Evil Dead movies.

"So they bring Angela back? didn't even know there were sequels! Seems a bit odd picking on Angela, she wasn't really any more important than the rest in Part 1."

She always seemed like the leader of the pack, she basically commands the rest of them toward the end.

[Fowlees]

I found the kid brother, in the first movie pretty amusing......good little cameo there.

[DrSpengler]

Well, here are my reviews for "Night of the Demons" (http://pellecreepy.blogspot.com/2008/02/night-of-demons-1988.html) and "Night of the Demons 2" (http://pellecreepy.blogspot.com/2008/02/night-of-demons-2-1994.html). I haven't seen "Night of the Demons 3" in almost ten years, so I can't safely comment on that one.

Perhaps my grade of D+ is a little harsh for both films. I mean, there are parts of both movies that I think are really, really cool. But the parts that annoy me...Christ, they really annoy me.

[Lance Lives]

I don't know man, that was a decent review, but I've seen WAY worse acting.

[DrSpengler]

I don't know man, that was a decent review, but I've seen WAY worse acting.

I've seen worse acting too. It's just there's something about the cast from the first movie that annoys the maggots outta me. I mean, I can sit through "Class of Nuke 'em High Part II" without flinching, but every time the fat guy in "Night of the Demons" opens his mouth I want to drown myself in a lobster tank.

[Lance Lives]

Stooge! I love him, I realize that it's bad acting, but it's just got a sense of fun to it for some reason.

Speaking of Nuke 'Em High, I've never been able to make it through part 3...that one's pretty bad.

[Scarecrow]

Completely with you there, I've never wanted to punch a character in the face so much before. Not a violent person at all but anything just to shut him up. The worst part was how he thought he was so funny when he was just stupid... VERY stupid.

- Scarecrow

I would agree, but I think the character still worked. There are alot of people that age that really act just like that, I've met more than a few myself.

Performance-wise, I don't think he was one of the worst. The girl playing Judy has reactions that are just so damn forced sometimes, it couldn't be much more obvious that she were acting, and the guy playing Jay looked like he was half asleep the whole movie and mindlessly drones through his lines...and the old man simulating that choking to death at the end, cripes.

Mimi Kincaid and the rest of the cast did fine.

[Scarecrow]

That old man rocked! One of my favourite aspects of the film, the bizarre little coda with his wife fooling him into eating razor blades... genius. Bets old woman ever!


- Scarecrow

[Lance Lives]

That part of the flick blew my mind when I was little. He really did deserve it though, he was just a mean old man.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Yeah, that guy was even mean to the girl trying to help him pick up his groceries.

[nottidelterrore]

His wife really pulled a fast one on him. The old fart learned his lesson about being a mean old man. Hehe.

[Fowlees]

Yeah, that guy was even mean to the girl trying to help him pick up his groceries.


Ha ha ..thats right, he called her a whore too....this cameo from the mean old guy is the most amusing part of the film.

[Melissa's Necklace]

Ha ha ..thats right, he called her a whore too....this cameo from the mean old guy is the most amusing part of the film.


His wife's cameo is better. Just think, if he's yelling at Judy for helping him, how he treats his wife. She had this planned for a while, lol.

That being said, I LOVE this movie. Even all the characters, and actors. Only one that ever bothered me was Helen, found her annoying. Was disheartened when I first hear about the remake, but, now, I think bring it on. The characters in the original are so 80s, I would like to see them in modern time. Hopefully the same wit will be there.

[Fowlees]

Part of the films charm , for me, is the 80's feel to it. The first time i saw this, when it was first released, back in the late 80s, i really wasn't overly impressed...these days , i think its great. But i guess i look for a bit more in a film these days.

[Lance Lives]

Yeah, there's just something about this one. The eighties charm is in full effect, and I personally love movies set on Halloween night.

[sCabbOy]

The movie reminds me of the whole goth movement that started (well started before this, but got popular) in the 80's and continuted past 1996... eing a part of that subculture for many years I dunno... it always reminded me of it.

[Scarecrow]

Why? because Angela is a really stereotypical goth character? :p Although, at least she's only possessed and not actually evil herself, so it's not TOO cliche. Still, it's certainly oif itsd time and the goth movement was becoming more recognised, and certainly Hellraiser in 1987 was important in raising the prog#file of several subcultures.

- Scarecrow

[Lance Lives]

Badass av Scab.

Yeah, like with several other movies, the actual crew of people hanging out together in this movie is pretty varied. At least they make mention of the fact that they think Angela is weird, but are just hanging out with her to get a good Halloween party.

[sCabbOy]

Well, it was the look of the film, the soundtrack, the setting (the house), halloween and of course Angela. Many of my goth friends loved this film for those reasons.
ADDED:
Badass av Scab.

Thanks! I wish AssJack would make a proper CD!

[Lance Lives]

Thanks! I wish AssJack would make a proper CD!

Me too, if Hank gets away from Curb maybe it'll eventually happen.


I could see the soundtrack really appealing to that culture. Also, the entire title sequence seems to remind me of Nightmare Before Christmas for some reason...I love that sequence. I suppose part 3 is trying to do the same thing with CGI but failing terribly.

[sCabbOy]

Me too, if Hank gets away from Curb maybe it'll eventually happen.

There's a short docu on the making of Hank's new CD where he is now praising Curb for letting him do what he wanted on the new CD. I think Curb should either do a metal alum for him, even though they are a country label or maybe WB would let another sister company release it. Warner Brothers owns Curb, right?

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I loved the score for Night of the Demons as well. It just had that whole 80's synth vibe to it, which I love. I thought it was pretty cool that they played Morbid Angel's Rapture in 2.....during the dance scene.

[The Dream Master]

The score for NOTD is one of my favorite things about it. This is like one of a few flicks that automatically makes me think of a certain song when I think about it. One of the others is The Prowler and that doep band playing at the dance.

[Lance Lives]

Hell yeah, the Morbid Angel scene in part 2 is badass.

I just finished watching this a bit ago, and I still love it. I don't see how anybody could hate these characters...Stooge, Rog, and Sal are all awesome.

[Ron]

I finally broke down today and picked up 1 & 2 today. I'm pretty psyched because I haven't seen them.

[Fowlees]

Enjoy 'em Pete...they are good movies...try and get you're hands on NOTD 3 aswell.

[Ron]

I'll definitley pick up NOTD 3 eventually. I saw it for about 15 bucks over at amazon, which isn't bad.

[Fowlees]

The scene where "handsome hunk" Sal turns up at Judy's front door and has that dialogue with her little brother , has got to be one of the amusing high points of the film. The more i watch it, the more i chuckle !!....have a looksee...maybe it's just me!!

[Kane Lives]

The first Night of the Demons was a great 80's film. Cheesy but well done. I thought the second one was a worthy followup. The third was quite disappointing IMO. Can't say I liked really anything about it.

[Chucky's back]

Part 3 i defiantly the weakest of all three, but it had some enjoyable parts.

[DrSpengler]

I haven't seen Part 3 since it first came out on VHS, but I recall liking it more than Part 2 because it went back to the haunted house gimmick.

Part 2, if there was any one thing about it that bugged me, was that they left the house and went to that college. The haunted house set-up was one of the better things about the original, so I wasn't really happy that they bucked it.

But my memories of Part 3 are a bit hazy, to be honest. All I vividly recall is a chick with a handpuppet that turns evil. Or something.

[Jason_Legend]

I haven't watched the original all the way through in a few years, but one time, it was one my favorite horror movies, period.

I haven't seen Part 2 in a long time, but I remember thinking it was decent, but not a patch on the original.

I haven't watched 3 in probably 10 years. It was my least favorite. Not terrible, but really forgettable. Probably the best nudity of the series, though.

[Ron]

I made it 45 minutes through the first one and I wasn't crazy about it. I probably should have watched it all the way through, but I just got...bored. I know some of you may be surprised to hear this. Someday I'll give it another shot, but not anytime soon.

[God of Thunder]

I just re-watched the first 2 a couple days ago... I'm pleased to say that they are still excellent in my eyes! The first one is a total classic, easily among my favorite movies. The 2nd is cool as well, I just noticed that "Rapture" and "Vewngeance is Mine" by Morbid Angel are palying in a party scene!!!! What better band to go with Night of the Demons than Morbid Angel?

It's unfortunate that the remake is still happening.

[sCabbOy]

Ya know, I want to see the remake. Think of it this way; each sequel was sort of a remake (other than tying in the previous film(s)) with the same story (sort of). Hopefully the remake will be revisiting that formula and be pretty good in that regard.

[Fowlees]

Yeah, i'd like to catch the re-make too. Personally, i think the first film is top notch, one of my favourite horror flicks i'd say, and i thoroughly enjoyed the second film aswell. The third is certainly the weakest of the bunch and not in the same league as the first two, but you've got to have the set now haven't you.

[nottidelterrore]

I'm wanting to check out the remake too.

[Jason_Legend]

I had a bug the other day to watch 3. I dug through my tape collection, and found it.

It's a little worse than I remember. Some of the acting and dialogue is truly wretched. Back when I originally watched this movie, I didn't really notice bad acting and dialogue the way I do now. So back then, I just took it as an average movie. Now, some the acting and dialogue make it a little worse.

I guess it's worth watching for the nudity and that great, weird gun scene.

Most horror sequels are pretty much remakes.

[God of Thunder]

Yeah, like Alligator II, ha ha.

I'll probably end up seeing the remake, but I really think the movie will be missing a LOT without Amelia Kinkade as Angela.

[nottidelterrore]

I watched the first two films yesterday. I really do love watching them around this time of year, especially the first. Both are set on Halloween obviously but the first gives off this great Halloween vibe although I like the second movie a tad better. The second is sillier & the first is just plain creepier.

I like the third, which I may watch later, but it's not as good as the first two. It's entertaining & has some good parts but is just weak in comparison to the previous films.

Z-Boy from NOTD 2 still annoys me, especially when he's in demon form. He sounds like an insane ape or something with his curly bowl haircut pulled back into a ponytail & his bangs hanging down like the early 1990s rebel that he is.

[Apocalypto]

The remake definitely looks to be mixing it up a bit.

From the early reviews, the story invovles the demons that occupy the new house trying to take over the entire world with a flood of demons if they can inhabit a certain amount of human bodies on Halloween night...which isn't from the original film at all.

Really hoping it doesn't get bumped back any further than February, if it does I fear it'll end up getting knocked around all over the place and eventually go dtv.

The first two are two of my favorite "fun" horror films, the third is a weak link, but atleast Angela still felt like Angela in it, she was as good of a villain as she was in the first two, unlike some other franchises where not only did the films go downhill but they even ruined the villain (ANOES 5 and Freddy's Dead come to mind).

[nottidelterrore]

All I know is that Rodger is one of the best horror characters of all time. :sniffle:

Of all time!

As he jumps in front of a bunch of other horror characters. :)

I love this song from the first movie:

Txl-GD3BZxE

I could've sworn the first NOTD was OOP but Amazon has more copies of it for sale for $10. Jump on that shit!

Oh & I picked up another of Kevin Tenney's films, Witchboard, from the Hollywood Video that's going out of business a few towns over.

And just for the hell of it, here's the opening to the first:

0XRKv-3mJEI

[God of Thunder]

Jesus fucking Christ I love that song... always have since I saw the first movie. Sounds like rejected Dio, but I still love the fuck out of it!

[Ron]

I watched the second film in the series a while back. I wasn't impressed. I actually found it to be pretty dull.

[Apocalypto]

Yup, The Beast Inside song is pretty awesome...since the remake failed to make the February theatrical release...it's probably a safe bet that it's heading dtv now, I wish they'd just hurry up and release it one way or the other.

If you like those, check out Tenney's Witchtrap. It's got Linnea Quigley, quite a bit of gore and an absolutely insane ass plot. It's so cheesy and hilarious. The protagonist is an ex-cop turned security guard named Tony Vincente who is a cheesy Ash-like character. At one point in the movie, Vincente comments that he just saw some ghost or whatever take "more lead than a #2 pencil". Fucking hysterical. It's only out on VHS, though.

[Lance Lives]

I really want to check out Witchtrap. I love Witchboard and the first Night of the Demons.

[God of Thunder]

I watched the second film in the series a while back. I wasn't impressed. I actually found it to be pretty dull.

I felt that way the first time I watched it too, for some reason. I then rewatched it a couple years later and absolutely loved it.... plus, I noticed that Morbid Angel's "Rapture" and "Vengeance is Mine" were on the soundtrack!!! I wasn't a death metal fan when I watched it the first time, so I didn't notice, but it was cool to know now...

Personally, I love the 2nd quite a bit, the gore and make up effects are excellent.

And speaking of death metal, James Quinn would be a fuckin' AWESOME death metal vocalist were he in a band.

[Fowlees]

The first one is one of my all time favs, and the second is a more than decent effort. Part 3 isn't the best of films , but to be fair by the 3rd installment i wasn't expecting much. Its still not too bad though. Plus, 3 cheers for the gun blow job seen...whe - hey!!

[Keir]

I just watched the first one the other day. Great movie, though when I first watched it about 20 years ago I didn't realize how many ideas it stole from The Evil Dead! To be honest, I didn't even know there were sequels. I'll have to check those out.

So, has anyone seen the remake?

[Apocalypto]

It doesn't come out until September.

[Jason_Legend]

That convenience store scene at the beginning is hilariously sleazy and classic.

A lot of people hype up the lipstick scene. Watching this movie for the first time, some people will probably be disappointed. It's a weird, creepy, offbeat scene, but it's not totally outrageous, in my opinion.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

Has anyone here checked out the remake yet? I'm still not quite if i'm even going to watch it.

I love, LOVE the original. It's one of my all-time favorites. 2 and 3 are great too, but don't quite match the original. I think it's a perfect movie to watch around Halloween. I've talked to some people who thought it was trash, but it really is a well made film. I always thought the acting, directing, cinematography, etc. were really good. While it's not the goriest splatter film out there, it still remains my favorite.

I love the scene in 2 when Angela is dancing to Rapture by Morbid Angel at the Halloween party.

[God of Thunder]

Yeah, I actually didn't notice that until the 2nd time I watched it!!! THe first time I wasn't into death metal. But it was a cool surprise to hear it!

And I can't fucking believe they remade it... the original is a movie that I fucking cherish, and then they're going to pull that shit. A pox on them.

[Fowlees]

"We are in danger here , as long as we're all strangers here...." (NOTD 2)

Now that's a f**ckin' toon !!! ....heh heh

[zombie extra 3]

I'm a big fan of the first. Haven't seen the sequels or the remake.

Edit: Angela dancing the strobe light with Bauhaus playing is fucking awesome.

Also did anyone notice any Exodus bumper sticker on one of the cars? Very cool.

[God of Thunder]

Yeah, it was on Angela's car actually.

Plus Morbid Angel was used in NOTD2....

[Lance Lives]

Yeah, there is also a Corrosion of Conformity sticker on Stooge's boombox, I always thought that was cool.

I can honestly say that every entry in this series and the remake are all good in my book. The first two are definitely the best (with the first being my favorite) but the third one is awesome and I was very pleasantly surprised with the remake.

[Rich]

I liked the first one and the remake. I have not seen the second and third one yet.

Never seen a woman dance to death metal before. Interesting.

[Fowlees]

"leave a little room for the holy ghost" :)

[skuppy]

I enjoyed this series. I thought the remake was pretty good, for what it was. I didn't see the sequels until recently (thanks to Netflix) and thought they were good as DTV sequels. Definitely one franchise in which I can say I liked them all.

[MaDMaNMaRz]

I've considered renting the remake. Anytime I pass it at the video store, I ALMOST pick it up, and then I tell it to fuck off.

[nottidelterrore]

It was on Netflix for awhile. Not sure if it still is though.

[nottidelterrore]

I revisited the trilogy this week since it's the best time to watch 'em! I introduced my friends to them and they dug the first two but thought NOTD 3 sucked haha.

NOTD 2 is still my favorite with the first right behind it. I have a soft spot for the third but it's still the weakest series. The CGI opening is horrible. I remember Orson being in the episode of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" with the clown nose.

Z-Boy from Night of the Demons 2 is still a low rent Pauly Shore and the most annoying movie character ever.

[Lance Lives]

I agree that the CGI opening to part 3 is awful. It's like a slap in the face to the awesome opening of part one. I really need to watch these soon. I'm excited to watch part 2 for the first time in a while but it really sucks that the only copy I have is a screener VHS. I really need to get that DVD!

[nottidelterrore]

The DVD isn't much better than VHS quality but it's better than nothing! I was so amped when it came out in '07.

[The Dream Master]

Fuckin' A, that one did take until '07 to come out, didn't it? Seems like it's been on DVD forever.

[Kaseykockroach]

I actually meant to grab the original at the other library a few weeks ago, but accidentally grabbed the remake instead (I didn't bother to look at the back and see what year it was made before I rented it). I didn't realize my mistake until I popped in the DVD.
-groans-

[The Dream Master]

The remake isn't very good, as I unfortunately learned the other day as well.

[nottidelterrore]

Fuckin' A, that one did take until '07 to come out, didn't it? Seems like it's been on DVD forever.

Yes indeed. I remember desolate days before we had Night of the Demons 2, Night of the Creeps, Slaughter High, Phantasm II, SNDN 2-5, From Beyond, Tales from the Crypt, & The Vault of Horror on DVD.

[Scarecrow]

Never seen a woman dance to death metal before. Interesting.



You go to all the wrong clubs.


Although she needed to be a bit faster, and a little wilder, in my experience.

[Lance Lives]

Watched part 2 today and all I can say is that when that chick catches that basketball between her legs is funny as shit.
