Being possessed by a minion of Lucifer has got to be a royal pain in the caboose. Don't you agree? Not only do you leak sticky green fluid from multiple bodily openings and gesticulate in ways that would make your grandmother drop dead from embarrassment, but your teeth become hideously deformed and your friends stop coming around as much as they used to. And you can forget about trying to find decent health insurance anywhere; the deductible alone would make you use the Lord's name in vain at least three or four hundred times in a row. It's gotta be a miserable way to live.
The demonic entities sprinkled throughout Brian Trenchard-Smith's enjoyable rehash Night of the Demons 2 seem to have it pretty good. They crack wise before they rip people asunder, get down and dirty with their more attractive victims, and pretty much spend their days partying without a single care in the entire world. If it weren't for the horrible complexion, bad teeth, and an aversion to both sunlight and holy water, demonic possession would be an awesome way to spend all of those vacation days you've got saved up at work. It's something to think about.
For those actually interested in the film, Night of the Demons 2 follows the sexual escapades of a group of horny teenagers at a co-ed Catholic school a few days before the annual Halloween shindig. Since this particular gaggle of raging hormones can't keep their icky little hands off one another for longer than a second or two, they've been unceremoniously banned from cutting a rug at the dance. Bummed, bitter, and extremely amorous, the teens decide to sneak off for an impromptu party at the legendary Hull House, where a group of moronic kids perished a few years back. You can experience their misery for yourself by renting Night of the Demons at your favorite locally-owned video store.
Once our victims arrive at the derelict house, they immediately split up, make out, and fumble around with a few relics scattered around the premises, including a sinister tube of lipstick that may or may not contain something hideous inside. As the night wears on and the clothes fail to come off, the kids grow tired of their surroundings and head back to the school with the demonic make-up in tow. What happens next? Why, all Hell breaks loose, of course!
Haven't you played this game before? Sheesh.
As an impressionable teenager with more free time than I care to admit, Night of the Demons 2 instantly became one of my absolute all-time favorite horror movies upon its home video release. Even though I didn't care for the original at all, I pushed the sequel on anyone who would listen to me spout nonsense about how impossibly cool this flick was. Nobody believed me, of course, and even fewer took me up on the offer to bring it over to their house so they could behold its genius for themselves. It's a wonder I didn't get beat down on a regular basis. Oh, wait. I did.
