HauntedWeen

Come in from the pumpkin patch for HELL-OWEEN MONTH at Mondo Mondays, featuring a gnarly trick-or-treat bag chock full of Halloween-themed B-movies that’ll really make your holiday a scream!

“When fantasy becomes a deadly reality!” One Halloween night, a little girl visiting the Burber family’s “House of Horrors” attraction is brutally hacked to pieces by their young son, Eddie. Having fled the scene, Eddie is taken away by his mother to hide out and live in solitude at a remote cabin. Twenty years later, Tophill State College’s Sigma Phi fraternity are desperately trying to raise some cash, so they decide to throw a raucous fundraiser party for their friends and set about transforming the property into an elaborate – and potentially lucrative – Halloween attraction. Little do they realize that Eddie Burber has returned home and intends to have some All Hallow’s Eve fun of his own – setting up his own “Kill Room”, where the line between fantasy and reality quickly becomes blurred…  and deadly! Filmed on an ultra-ultra-low budget in Bowling Green, Kentucky, HauntedWeen is a highly crazed, highly fun regional horror flick combining goofy comedy, campfire antics, bare skin, questionable hairdos, and gory gags (including heads being taken clean off by baseball bats) into a sticky trick-or-treat bag of Halloween-themed goofiness from the latter years of the slasher golden age. (Dir. by Doug Robertson, 1991, USA, 87 min., Not Rated)
