Ghoulies (1985) – Best Horror Party Movies

It’s time for a new episode in our Best Horror Party Movies video series, and in this one we’re building a party around the 1985 creature feature Ghoulies (watch it HERE), a classic from Empire Pictures – the company Charles Band had before he started Full Moon.

Directed by Luca Bercovici from a screenplay he wrote with Jefery Levy, Ghoulies has the following synopsis:

As a child, Jonathan was almost killed by his father, Malcolm, during a satanic ritual. After being saved and raised by Wolfgang, who has kept him unaware of his background, Jonathan inherits Malcolm’s house and moves in with girlfriend Rebecca. During a party, he jokingly performs a ceremony described in one of his father’s books on black magic, not realizing he has unleashed small, demonic creatures known as “Ghoulies.”

Peter Liapis, Michael Des Barres, Jack Nance, and Lisa Pelikan star.

Here’s what the Best Horror Party Movies series is all about:

Welcome to the Best Horror Party Movies where we single out the BEST horror movies to watch with a couple of drinks and some buddies in tow, even if it’s a “watch party”. Hence movies that are intentionally or unintentionally funny, that are extreme, fast paced, goofy, and raunchy – all the fun times toppings in the house! Films you can pay attention to or you can have in the back ground. We even tossed a party game in there, one tailored to each episode’s selection, including recommended “doses” for toasting (or roasting) all the sleaze, cheese, guts and gore you can stuff into your cranium. So get in here and get crazy… ‘cuz it’s a HORROR PARTY!

The Ghoulies episode of Best Horror Party Movies was Written, Edited and Narrated/Hosted by Gregory Burkart, Produced by John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
