Imagine you and your friends are paired up with your favorite dates and the night is very young. There's an old, dilapidated mansion just down the road a bit, near the deserted graveyard. It would be the perfect place to party... let loose... lose your souls. What you and your friends don't know is that inside the house lives an ancient sorcerer, a master of the dark arts. He has sacrificed many to give eternal life to his beloved, comatose bride. Just a few more humans are needed.... The masterful wizard is about to begin another evening of magic... conjuring up a dizzying array of monstrous creatures: hellish lizards, skeletal reapers, demons, zombies, ghosts, lust-crazed muck men, luring hags and spider women, all driven by a blind, killer instinct. Special guests will be treated to an onslaught of twisted supernatural torture until each begs to die!

Review
**_Creative, fun, cartoonish ‘B’ horror from the mid-80s_** Two carloads of partiers in their 20s-30s make the mistake of stopping at a mansion with a graveyard curiously right by it. Something diabolical is going on and they might not make it out alive! “Spookies” (1986) is similar to prior 80’s flicks like "Hell Night" or "Frightmare" and would influence soon-to-come ones, such as "Doom Asylum," "Waxwork" and “Deadly Manor.” It’s low-budget, but imaginative and amusing, not to mention you can’t beat the 80’s ambiance. You could say it’s one of those “so bad it’s good” flicks. There are a few highlights on the feminine front: Redhead Joan Ellen Delaney (Linda), blonde Charlotte Seeley/Alexandra (Adrienne, the smoker) and the bride Maria Pechukas (Isabelle). It runs 1 hour, 25 minutes, and was shot northeast of New York City in Rye, which is near the border of southwest Connecticut. GRADE: B-
