 Spookies (1986) – Doran, Faulkner, and Joseph.

Due, perhaps, in no small part to the increased popularity of home video rentals, the 80s produced an exceptionally diverse collection of low-budget, independently made horror films. The eccentric, special FX-laden, B-Horror classic 'Spookies' arguably being one of the more batso examples of unrelentingly demon-drenched freakiness the 80s ever produced! A group of ceaselessly bickering revellers find themselves without a party, and true to splatter lore, they fatefully decide to have an impromptu soirée inside an isolated, sinisterly graveyard-garlended country estate.

Dabbling with a Ouija board besieges them with grievously-countenanced gremlins, mutants, zombies, and ferociously flatulent mud men! Terrorized by gaseous, odoriferously ominous fiends, these blithely trespassing partygoers are unaware that their fates are now in the hands of a crazed necromancer! This perverse puppetmaster, unleashing a macabre menagerie of horrors upon any who alight within his lurid labyrinth of almost certain death! Spookies has a resplendent array of outlandish practical effects, colourful performances, and the aggressively anal antics of gastrically gallivanting ghouls still provides state-of-the-fart shocks!
