Plot

When a group of kids sneak into the dilapidated, apparently-abandoned mansion of vanished silent film star Lance Hayward, they are methodically killed off by the psychotic actor, who dons costumes from his classic film roles for each murder.

Cast

Production

While producer Nick Marino is credited as the director, numerous cast and crew members assert that several uncredited directors worked on the film, including Fred Lincoln and Andre de Toth (the latter of whom had not officially directed a film for almost 20 years). Several accounts claim that de Toth convinced veteran actors John Ireland and Cameron Mitchell to join the cast, and shot the scenes they appear in after the majority of principal photography had been completed. De Toth wore a neckbrace during shooting, after suffering an injury.

One shooting location was an estate which had once belonged to Errol Flynn.

Release

Although filming was completed in 1987, no record appears to exist of the film having an official release until 2004, when Fred Olen Ray's Retromedia put it on DVD under the title Bloody Movie. A Legacy Entertainment release from 2005 uses the film's original title.

Critical reception

Allmovie called the film a "substandard horror film" and that "the real fun to be had in Terror Night is its virtually limitless source of bizarre trivia for dedicated exploitation buffs." DVD Talk's Daniel W. Kelly wrote, "With a storyline revolving around vintage movies and appearances by some recognizable has-beens, the film has more of a camp quality than horror. It's not the worst of the genre, but it's not the best. It's a bit simple and unexciting."
