I’m a big fan of the slasher subgenre, particularly the slasher movies that came out in the 1980s. I’ve tried to watch as many ’80s slashers as I can, but every once in a while I hear about one that has slipped away. One I haven’t seen yet is the 1987 movie. night screams – so I’m glad to hear that Vinegar Syndrome is giving the film a 4K UHD and Blu-ray release. I’ll definitely be looking at this soon… and if you’re interested in getting a copy of night screamsYou can do it at THIS LINK.
Directed by Allen Plone from a screenplay by Mitch Brian and Dillis L. Hart II, night screams has the following synopsis: High school football star David just won a four-year scholarship to the University of Oklahoma, and with his parents out for the night, he plans to celebrate the occasion with a party for his friends and his girlfriend. But, as the evening’s festivities begin at a local nightclub, two violent fugitives take refuge in the basement of David’s house. As the action shifts to David’s home, it quickly becomes clear that someone is intent on spoiling the celebration as, one by one, the attendees are murdered and slaughtered in various gruesome ways. But are the stowaways thieves responsible for the carnage, or is it the work of someone even more deranged?
