"Terror Night" (also called "Bloody Movie"). Standard horror set-up as a group of young adults provide the body-count after trespassing in old mansion. The film is given enough quirk and energy to sustain interest.

Plot centers around "Lance Haywood" (John Ireland), former screen idol presumed dead. Haywood kills each person according to different film roles. Great cast includes John Ireland, Cameron Mitchell, Alan Hale Jr., Dan Haggerty, Jamie Summers in bubble bath, Michelle Bauer running around naked, and a body ripped in half during the opening minutes. There are also sepia flashbacks to the killer's past screen glories, and a slashed-up head banger who fights to death with Haywood in knight's armor.

Plenty of movie posters of Haywood's films and a confusing and indifferent climax. It's like FADE TO BLACK with a great ode to old Hollywood.

Never heard of this movie until I bought it. As a fan of slashers, I knew I had to have it. Great production values, however my only complaint is the fact that ******SPOILERS************READ NO FURTHER******* is that the killer, who is a silent movie star would be almost 90-100 years old. Yet he kills several people and overpowers them to boot. It was nice to see Grizzly Adams die by spear. A better then average slasher from a era when they were just spitting these out left and right.

This movie is a blueprint for how to "do a lot of blood and kills" as the murder expert Booger so eloquently opines in his review. My guess is that a large part of the sales of a movie like this are to uneducated loners like Booger who live in their mommy's basement and fantasize about gory murders day and night.

1920s screen legend, Lance Hayward (John Ireland) has been missing for twenty years. In 1987, he returns to murder anyone who trespasses on his long-deserted property. Of course, a group of six young preppie-types simply must visit Mr. Hayward's condemned mansion, and they have to do it late at night. This leads to many grisly deaths by impaling, decapitation, etc. A pair of randy bikers also shows up, adding to the number of victims. BLOODY MOVIE (aka: Terror Night) is a pretty grim affair w/ a surprisingly downbeat ending. On the up side, the biker chick (Michelle Bauer!!) makes sure there's a whole lotta naughtiness going on! Recommended to all fright fanatics...
