    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Meg Tilly was incredibly uncomfortable in the actual mausoleum. Her reactions to her surroundings were often genuine. During the scenes where she was hysterical, she actually did throw herself into hysterics and it took her awhile after each take to calm herself down.
    • Goofs
      When Carol and Kitty find Julie's stuff, it's not hers. In fact, it's their own, because they were shown leaving it there a few scenes back. Julie never left anything there.
    • Quotes

      Steve: [Leslie keeps walking and Steve stops her, asking her where the Mausoleum is] Okay, Leslie, come on.

      Leslie: What do you mean, 'come on'?

      Steve: Well, you're gonna show me where it is.

      Leslie: No! No way! I'm not going in that place! If you wanna go, YOU go, Hugo!

      Steve: Thanks a lot. Those guys are in a lot of trouble now.

      [Steve revs off to the Mausoleum and Leslie continues to walk home]

    • Alternate versions
      Billed as the "Director's Cut," the alternative version of "One Dark Night" available on the Shriek Show DVD is the filmmaker's original cut, which doesn't include completed effects and music. Much of this version is comprised of alternative takes and additional dialogue, and it includes less of Melissa Newman, who producers expanded the role of.

    Interesting and scary for a PG movie.

    I was kinda surprised by the PG rating on the back of the DVD case. I certainly wouldn't want my kids watching this one. I think this would scare the crap out of a 10 year old.

    Plot: A girl trying to fit in to the clique is hazed and tormented by the 'in crowd.' They talk her into spending the night in this creepy mausoleum (that reminded me of Phantasm...) and they proceed to torment her in the night. Little do they know, a recently deceased clairvoyant is coming back to life and raising the dead around them! It sounds awfully cheesy, but given the age and the budget, which was no doubt pretty small, this film is fun on many levels.

    Watch for an early EG Daily as one of the in crowd brats. I enjoyed it and it scared my girlfriend.

    7 out of 10, kids.
