The Midnight Hour (1985)


ABC
Directed by Jack Bender
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

Teens partying on Halloween night in a cemetery accidentally wake up the dead when they recite a curse on an old parchment. Their house party is crashed by ravenous zombies, a werewolf and a witch. Meanwhile, a cheerleader from the 1950s wanders the streets in search of her first love and finds it in heartthrob Lee Montgomery. Soundtrack of horror-themed oldies on the radio with Wolfman Jack helps set a nostalgic atmosphere, but the comedy relief gets out of hand, not to mention the dated homage to Michael Jackson's thriller in an ill-advised dance scene.
