Killer Party (1986)

Killer Party is a classic retro 80’s horror film directed by William Fruet. The story begins with three best friends, Vivia (Sherry Willis-Burch), Jennifer (Joanna Johnson), and Phoebe (Elaine Wilkes) as they pledge to a sorority. Vivia previously played a prank on the sorority and she finds out that is why the three were accepted. Now it is April fool’s Day and the sorority throws a party for a fraternity to be held at an old abandon house where Alan, a fraternity pledge, was killed twenty-two years before during a hazing prank. At the party someone or something does not want them in the house and the haunting begins with an unseen figure. Is it the ghost of Allen? Or is it something more demonic? Joining the girls at the fraternity party are Blake (Martin Hewitt) and Martin (Ralph Seymour) when eventually things take a turn for the worse and Jennifer ends up possessed by a demon and hunts down Vivia and Phoebe with a trident. The chase pursues as the film takes a thrilling turn when the demon attempts to possess each of the girls and tries to kill everyone.
