Trivia / Night of the Demons (1988)

• The Cast Showoff: Amelia Kinkade choreographed her own dance routine.
• Contractual Purity: Hal Havins refused to show his posterior in the mooning scene at the start of the film.
• Completely Different Title:
  • Japan: Evil Spirit House/Cursed Halloween Party
• Dawson Casting: Lots of the requisite examples of actors in their early-mid-20s playing high school kids, but none as egregious as Linnea Quigley (29) who played Suzanne.
• Dueling Works: Attempted and referenced in the tagline. Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street both easily outstripped Night of the Demons, despite the taunt that Angela would scare Jason and Freddy.
• Executive Veto: According to Joe Augustyn, the original script contained a gay couple and an interracial kiss, but was deemed too radical by some of the producers as well as the director.
• Romance on the Set: Linnea Quigley and special effects artist Steve Johnson met when she came in to get the mold for her fake breasts done. They were later married.
• Uncredited Role: Although he is uncredited, Frank Welker provides the voice for Angela when she is possessed.
• What Could Have Been: An earlier draft of the script had a priest blessing the audience at the start of the movie.
• Working Title: Halloween Party, Demon Boogie.
