I had wanted to see this movie for quite some time. Just think the late-great John Candy in a horror movie. When I finally did see this movie, it was not worth the wait.
In this poorly filmed Canadian flick four friends (including a young John Candy) have come up with this brilliant idea that they will hide the wife (Susan Keller) of a businessman (Lawrence Dane) while they are attending a Halloween party and dressed as clowns.
Devoid of scares and never really seems to go the way it should have in order to create an acceptable film. Might be of interest to John Candy fans to see him in a very early role and one that is not a comic role. Mind you near the end and the killer is knocking victims off and he is crying in the barn I thought he was going to go into his Johnny LaRue character from SCTV. But, alas we are left with a boring horror movie.
On a final note: This was released in 1976, which were different times as we witness a couple of times chickens heads being cut off and then flying around. Do not think that would be filmed today.
