This is a made for TV movie from the 80's that stars Lee Montgomery, Levar Burton, Shari Bellafonte, and Dick Van Patten (also Wolfman Jack's voice makes a cameo role).

*spoilers*

Montgomery is dorky high schooler Phil Grenville, whose friends decide it would be a great idea to break into the witch museum in their town and steal some costumes for an upcoming halloween party. After doing such, the teens accidentally raise the dead from the cemetary after reciting an ancient text found in the museum. Now it's up to Phil and his new quasi-girlfriend Sandy (who is one of the undead summoned, unknown to phil) to stop the legions of the evil monsters and put the town the way it was before.

*end spoilers*

while this film is uber-cheesy, i still loved it. the first time i saw it i was 10 years old and i was OBSESSED with it, which is why i bought it when i found it for sale at FYE.

any of you schmoes see it, and if so, what did you think?

"talk hard. steal the air."

I love this movie.

Sure it's cheeseball and has no gore.
But it has endearing characters and a fun premise.

The halloween dance scene is hilarious!
It's so obvious the filmmakers are trying to rip on jackson's thriller.

The Lee Montgomery & The 50's chick scenes are very cute.
And add a lot to the picture.

Then there's the vampire blood sucking scene set against a smiths song!

I owned the abc video growing up. Now I own the anchor bay dvd, I'd encourage others to seek it out.
