Hack-O-Lantern (1988) - Middle-Aged and Mediocre Movie Review

Middle-Aged and Mediocre

We welcome the night. We welcome the master. We welcome terrible horror movies from the 80s!

"Hack-O-Lantern" was made in 1988 and was written by a college student who was paid $300.00 for his efforts. An Indian-born fella by the name Jag Mundhra was brought on board to direct but had no real concept of what Halloween was aside from the fact that he knew there was a movie named that and it had made about 50 million at the box office a decade prior to this with roughly the same budget that he now has to work with. Unfortunately, for everyone involved, this is not quite on the same level as the 70s classic.

We've got Satan worshippers performing Satanic rituals. Gratuitous nudity galore. An 80s hair metal music video. A really bad stand-up comedy set outta nowhere. Pitchfork deaths. A confusing and nonsensical plot. Possible incestual going-ons. And some pretty decent gore. Everything that makes a terrible horror movie worth watching!
