God and Satan are on a train discussing the fate of three individuals. The stories of the people in question are told in a trio of very strange vignettes. One involves an insane anylum with some very interesting treatment plans. Another involves a 'death club'. The final story shows us the adventures of a server of Satan. This is a strange movie.

A double was used for actor Richard Moll in many shots of the "Harry" segment. The double wears the same clothes as Moll, and sports the same hairstyle, but the double's arms are very hairy, whereas Moll's arms are smooth. See more »
Goofs
When the camera moves through a pair of double doors and we are shown body parts and blood splattered everywhere, the cameraman's shadow and/or reflection in the glass doors is constantly visible throughout the entire sequence. See more »

....Yeah, he would have arrived at something like this! I first saw this in the theater (about 1985?) when it was released. The movie poster had a large knife stuck into some train tracks. Me and my friends thought it was a slasher flick about a psycho loose on a train....BOY WERE WE WRONG! This movie is TOTAL entertainment for fans of inept horror-exploitation cinema who think they have seen them all, and are jaded (like me!). The best thing about this movie is, there is SO much going on! You mind will be reeling and trying to make sense of it all, and then you hit over the head with something ridiculous and/or gory. In the "Suicide Club" segment, the "wrecking ball" that's prepared to crush some of the members, is , if you look closely, a Hoppity Hop! (one of those heavy rubber balls with loop handles that kids would bounce/ ride on in the 1970's). Also in that segment, the girl ("Greta"?) suddenly has a short haircut, and is wearing a man's tuxedo and looks like one of the "Time Warp" party guests from "Rocky Horror". Why?????? The young guy who played the devil-playboy mansion owner in the last segment looks like an effeminate/annoying David Cassidy. The first story about the organ theft mansion was the only one here that actually had some creepy moments. The best thing about this movie is, it really MOVES. Never a dull moment, and as a LOT of grade Z exploitation and horror flicks get bogged down with long scenes of dialog with no action, Night Train To Terror never stops (till the train crashes at the end). I would love to see an interview with whoever assembled this mutilated, wonderful mess of a movie. What a shame that the current state of exploitation is totally geared to the "Saw" / "Scream" viewing crowd, and as such, is mechanical, predictable and silly. Has Quentin Tarantino seen "Night Train To Terror" ??
