The Movie That Took A Lot Of Guts To Make!

In this hilarious horror movie spoof, a team of mad scientists, led by Dr. Lukas Mandeville (Kenny Everett) and his assistant Dr. Barbara Coyle (Pamela Stephenson) are investigating paranormal phenomena in a mysterious manor. Unknown to the scientists, their presence is about to incur the wrath of a local coven of bumbling Satanists led by a 700 year-old disciple of the Devil known only as the Sinister Man (Vincent Price), all of whom are prepared to stop at nothing in purging the house of the unwelcome intruders.

Scripted by Barry Cryer (The Two Ronnies), this is a killer mix of gross-out horror, shameless Carry On-style comedy and more than a little bit of kitsch zaniness. It revels in its merciless parodies of a lengthy checklist of horror and genre movies.

Starring a host of familiar faces from British film and TV including influential radio DJ and comedian Kenny Everett, Pamela Stephenson (Superman III; Not the Nine O'Clock News), Gareth Hunt (The New Avengers), Don Warrington (Rising Damp), John Fortune (Bremner, Bird and Fortune), Sheila Steafel (The Ghosts of Motley Hall), Cleo Rocos (The Kenny Everett Television Show; Celebrity Big Brother), Graham Stark (the Pink Panther movies) and legendary horror icon Vincent Price.

This release also includes a Bonus Disc featuring two independently produced, star-studded Kenny Everett comedy shows – unseen for over 40 years!
