Wissenswertes
Actor Kevin Brophy (Peter) said in an interview that he still has the purple cape that he wears in the movie and that he has worn it every Halloween since making the film.

Patzer
In the opening, Peter says that Garth Manor has no modern conveniences, yet Seth was able to flush a toilet, indicating indoor plumbing.

Zitate
May West: Jesus. You know if you guys spent half the time studying instead of setting up these stunts, we'd all be graduating with honors.

Scott: What a little twat. We should have left her behind.
Peter Bennett: Why? Her behind is the best part. We should have kept her behind and left the rest of her.

Alternative Versionen
Although the UK cinema version was uncut, early video versions suffered a brief 1 second edit by the BBFC to remove a closeup of a body being punctured by spikes from an iron fence. The cut was waived in 2002.

6/10

Surprisingly good with a great ending

Overlooked this one when it was released but after seeing the DVD on sale and reading some positive comments on this site decided to part with my cash. Was I disappointed? No. Once you get past the cheesy opening with its gloriously B-movie style credits it turns into one of the more interesting stalk and slash films of the 80's. The set up is simple - 4 frat pledges have to spend the night in a mansion with a sinister past and a killer on the loose... who will survive? Do we care? Well yes, these kids are surprisingly likeable and, by cleverly putting them in pre-20th Century fancy dress in a candle lit house, removes them from the contemporary teen horror genre. The killings are pretty conventional decapitation etc. but the film then builds up to a tense and exciting final 30 minutes with a few surprises and a brilliantly staged ending. I'm probably over-praising this film somewhat but my expectations were low and my rewards were a decent 6.5/10!
