Saturday the 14th (1981)


A family inherit a large, creepy house which is home to an old book that opens up a world of assorted monsters. Horror comedy that has nothing what so ever to do with the Friday the 13th movies, this is a romp featuring vampires and other beasts, one of which looks like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Made in 1981 I think this has aged quite well. The family gel well, after all the parents were a real life copy. There’s plenty of horror shenanigans and simple comedy, at 77 minutes it runs along at a good pace.
