| Summary: |
Ghosts, demons, and goblins are terrorizing a small New England town since Melissa (Shari Belafonte) and her friends accidentally
revived the witch Lucinda (Jonelle Allen) through a Halloween-prank. Now it means to send Lucinda and her entourage of terrible-looking undead
back to the grave. And it has to be done not later than midnight, otherwise these devilish creatures will get the town under
their spell for all eternity... |

short review: "American Graffity" meets "The Munsters" in this typical 80s-style horror-comedy (including the inevitable song-and-dance scene) where the dead come back to life. That's not really a new idea, but the film has it's own charm and features Shari Belafonte (daughter of "Calypso-King" Harry Belafonte) as a vampire.  |
