Nifty retrospective documentary

Warning: Spoilers
This engrossing and informative 72-minute retrospective documentary covers a lot of neat ground on the making of the low-budget horror cult classic "Night of the Demons." Director Kevin Tenney reveals that he got the gig to helm "Night of the Demons" because he had previously done "Witchboard" for the same company. Makeup artist Steve Johnson talks about how he met his future wife (and popular 80's scream queen) Linnea Quigley on the shoot and goes into detail on how exactly the infamous lipstick scene was done. Hal Havins admits that one especially vulgar line he says in the movie he took from John Belushi. Amelia Kinkade discusses how thrilled she was to perform and choreograph her own dance number. Cathy Podewell quit her waitress job after getting cast in the lead while James Quinn did all the demon voices. Moreover, we also learn that the house was located in a bad neighborhood, the possession makeup took five to six hours to apply, the cast were constantly playing practical jokes on each other, and a room in the house had to be fireproofed for an intense fire gag. Recommended viewing for fans of the film.
