The Verdict

A warlock who wants to bring his wife back to life uses party attendees as victims of his sacrificial rituals. One sentence is enough to tell the plot and one word to define it: mediocre.

6 /10

Creative, fun, cartoonish ‘B’ horror from the mid-80s

Two carloads of partiers in their 20s-30s make the mistake of stopping at a mansion with a graveyard curiously right by it. Something diabolical is going on and they might not make it out alive!

“Spookies” (1986) is similar to prior 80’s flicks like "Hell Night" or "Frightmare" and would influence soon-to-come ones, such as "Doom Asylum," "Waxwork" and “Deadly Manor.” It’s low-budget, but imaginative and amusing, not to mention you can’t beat the 80’s ambiance. You could say it’s one of those “so bad it’s good” flicks.

There are a few highlights on the feminine front: Redhead Joan Ellen Delaney (Linda), blonde Charlotte Seeley/Alexandra (Adrienne, the smoker) and the bride Maria Pechukas (Isabelle).

It runs 1 hour, 25 minutes, and was shot northeast of New York City in Rye, which is near the border of southwest Connecticut.

GRADE: B-
