Cool Horror Videos: New Year’s Evil – the entire film!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

A few days ago we blasted you in the face with news of Scream Factory’s upcoming NEW YEAR’S EVIL Blu-ray; great stuff for fans of the cheesy 80s slasher. But if you can’t wait for the disc to be released, we’ve got a treat for you: the entire film!

Thanks to YouTube user Jazz Pants (good name), you can check out Emmett Alston’s 1980 holiday-themed murder party right now. It’s a decent watch; no classic of the genre, but it provides a few memorable scenes and a fair ration of unintentional laughs.

New Year’s Eve is on it’s way and TV’s most famous punk-rock lady icon Diane Sullivan is holding a late hour countdown celebration of music and partying. All is going well until Diane receives a phone call from a odd sounding stranger announcing on live Television that when New Year’s strikes in each time zone, a ‘Naughty Girl’ will be murdered (punished), and the killer leaves a threat saying she will be the one to die last. The studio crew takes precautions and highten security, but on the other side of America, a hospital nurse is found brutally butchered. Who could be behind these murders? A crazed fan, a religious psychotic, or perhaps it’s someone much closer to Diane then the police (or audience) could have ever expected.
