Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was shot in 1987 and promoted in trade papers and genre magazines but never got released. It sat on a shelf for 20 years before getting a badly transferred DVD release. Supposedly, there were copyright issues with the older movie footage used in the film and a scandalous rumor about Bloody Movie being produced with mob money.
- GoofsA man in his 90s would not be physically capable of doing everything Hayward does in this movie. He has no trouble performing dexterous acts, and seems to exhibit superhuman strength.

Featured review
the Skipper should have gotten more screen time
Every once in a while, someone decides that there needs to be another movie about horny teens going somewhere to get butchered. Still, "Terror Night" (also called "Bloody Movie") does put an interesting spin on that motif. In this case, the house of 1920s movie star Lance Hayward is getting repossessed by the city; Hayward disappeared from the public eye many years earlier. Anyway, some typical '80s teens opt to go there for the night, and...well, you can probably guess what happens to them, especially since two of them are fiddling around in the bathtub when they first appear in the movie.
What makes this slasher movie a little different is the fact that a number of old B-actors appear in it. John Ireland plays Lance Hayward, but Aldo Ray plays a homeless man and Alan Hale plays a security guard. Personally, I wish that Alan Hale could have gotten more screen time, so that he could have maybe assumed his Skipper persona. Maybe they could have brought in the other Castaways to irk him. Oh well.
Also, when the murders happen, they use scenes from Lance Hayward's movies to show the murders. Considering that horror veteran Andre De Toth (House of Wax) was involved in this movie, it makes sense that it would be a little different.
