Bestkb A great movie if you want something fun, exciting, but not overly scary. The story is really nothing new in terms of Halloween themed movies; kids have a party and bring back the dead from the past and need to get them back before the midnight hour on Halloween night. The acting in this TV movie is what you would expect from a movie made for television. My standout favorite in the movie would be Levar Burton, from Star Trek NG fame. Every actor in this movie is acceptable, no real Oscar nominees nor Razzies..So if you are in the Halloween mood and what something to get you into the Halloween spirit, I would say this made for television movie is exactly what you need to fulfill your desires for good Halloween fun.

trashgang Halloween, some kids break into the local witch museum to steal some stuff from centuries ago. For fun they go to the cemetery were they open a manuscript and are reading a spell without knowing it. Guess what, it's midnight hour, the demons arise! Zombietown it will be. And of course the legend of the witch comes alive. So far the story of this unfindable movie. When there is a version that pops up on the Net on VHS or even on (official) DVD it goes for more than 100 Euro's or even Dollars. Typical for the movies from that era they were released in several countries mostly with several titles. When you are into horror and a real freak you know you sometime have to do some research about the other titles and guess what. You can obtain this movie for less than 20 euro's but with his second title Return of the Living Zombies. If you do a bit of research you can still catch it on the X Rated Kult label. People into horror will know the label, they come in collectible hard boxes with beautiful artwork. Anyway, is it worth searching? Yes and no. Yes because it's an OOP, no because it isn't quite a real horror. The most important thing is the relationship between a human and a zombie. Still, people are searching this flick due the presence of Kevin McCarthy (invasion of the body snatchers main lead from 1956). The blood never flows in a disgusting way. There isn't any gore or nudity (escential for that era). In fact it is one to see with the whole family on Halloween night. Around the midnight hour...

petejacknk We loved this movie also. We taped it and I basically raised my kids on it. They would watch it all the time and I don't ever remember it being played again, too bad. I think it is a great and fund Halloween movie that should be played every year during that holiday. I babysit kids and even they were raised on it and loved it every time they always say let's watch the Halloween movie. That is also how my children learned the many old songs from the 60's and 70's that were heard in the movie even though American Graffiti wasn't a Halloween movie it did remind me if because of the all the great music. I would recommend that you rent it, buy it, whatever, but you've got to see it.

Joseph P. Ulibas Midnight Hour (1985) was one of those lame made-for-t.v. horror films that made it's way on network television during the 80's. Most of them suck rotten eggs and this one is no exception. I don't know why they spent money on tripe like this (From what I remember it didn't look like much). Old teenagers raise the dead on saturday night. What happened, was there nothing else to do on the weekend? I guess they were bored silly. Saturday night, the scene is dead, nothing to do. I know what, lets do something real stupid like cast an unholy spell that causes some not so dead corpses come back to life. Capital idea! Was the local video store closed? Wasn't the bowling alley open? I don't know but I do know not to waste good money on stuff like this!Best to avoid unless you're really desperate!D-If you're that hard up to watch this movie then i suggest you find yourself another hobby or read a good book. Life's just too short.
