Title: 1980s MASOLEUM chiller includes Girl w/toothbrush & coffins bursting thru walls Post by: Allhallowsday on September 07, 2007, 12:08:00 AM Okay, I can't remember the name of an early 80s film, largely set in a masoleum where young people have secreted themselves on the one year anniversary of a particular inhabitant's entombment... that may not be accurate, but there is a set up where a young couple are locked in and two other young women plot to scare them, complete with masks and drugs... one of these young women is an African-American who spends her entire time on-screen with a toothbrush in her mouth...! (Memorable, I guess, and somehow charming!)
There is a special occupant of the masoleum, which is the type that houses many tombs, some of which burst open after the special occupant (an occultist and/or illusionist) commands them to from his own tomb (complete with tiny electric shocks shooting from his dead eyes...) coffins slide out, and the mouldering, long-dead occupants animate, open their eyes and come forth...!! I know this was covered on the old SCIFILM board, but I now can't remember the name but think it a very good Horror film! :question: Title: Re: 1980s MASOLEUM chiller includes Girl w/toothbrush & coffins bursting thru wa Post by: Andrew on September 07, 2007, 03:55:23 AM "One Dark Night" (1983) - I think?

Quote Ray Dale: ONE DARK NIGHT has overaged teens trapped inside a mausoleum that's kind of like a bunker in its design and the way the characters can't get in or out. It's neither intentionally funny nor a ripoff of Romero's dead movies, but ... maybe it's that? That's all that pops to mind right now, but I'll keep thinking. Apparently this was a response to a post on the Scifilm.org board which was a repost of this one from the badmovies.org board: http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,112602.0.html (http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,112602.0.html) Title: Re: 1980s MASOLEUM chiller includes Girl w/toothbrush & coffins bursting thru wa Post by: nshumate on September 07, 2007, 11:09:48 AM Definitely One Dark Night. The toothbrush is the clincher detail.

Haven't seen it in 20 years, but remember it fondly. I needed that one for the "80s best Horror" thread. Thank you all. :thumbup:
