Summary: Outstanding Soundtrack!
Review: Actually, I have already written a review of the film. This is just some soundtrack information for the fans of this excellent Halloween fun flick. I've received emails from Amazon customers asking me about certain songs, so I've decided to post the soundtrack here. Anyway, on with it:The Midnight Hour - Wilson Pickett
Lil' Red Riding Hood - Sam The Sham & The Pharoahs
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Clap For The Wolfman - The Guess Who
How Soon Is Now? - The Smiths Mama Told Me (Not To Come) - Three Dog Night
Sea Of Love - Phil Philips & The Twilights
(This is the original version, not the remake in the film)
Get Dead - Shari Belafonte-Harper
Devil Or Angel - Bobby Vee
Baby, I'm Yours - Barbara Lewis If anyone wants to add to this, please feel free. This is an excellent blend of spooky tunes from the 50's through 80's. If you are an insane fan like myself, you'll go ahead and collect these songs to make your own soundtrack. I just thought I'd help the crazy ones along a little bit.

Summary: Amazing "G" rated horror film...now that's a first!
Review: Anchor Bay Entertainment, THANK-YOU for putting this out on DVD! I thought that this movie was lost and gone into the TV archives like all those other "feature films" that we used to see on all those networks in the 80's. Since i lost my vhs copy of this film when i moved, i have searched high and low for this movie, so you have to understand that when i got my copy delievered to my house, i was at that moment the happiest guy ever..Yes, i know it's just a movie but it also brought back alot of memories! I first saw this movie on ABC as one their special halloween presentations and i fell in love with it, of course it wasn't scary (ok, some small parts) but that didn't matter because the story was so good, the acting was great, the music in the movie was perfect, and all the characters in the film were so into their parts that it really made this movie seem so real and feel so magical! The only things that i didn't like about the movie (but it wasn't that big of a deal!) was the DVD cover art which could of been better and that there are no special features except for the usual chapter selections. One more thing, for all people expecting a bloody horror film, forget it..because you'll be very dissapointed and probably hate the film but if you want to watch an old-fashioned style scary movie with some great music and great fun..YOU GOTTA CHECK THIS OUT!!

Summary: 80's Kids Ultimate Halloween Flick
Review: I can rememebr the first time I watched "The Midnight Hour" on television when I was about 7 or 8. I LOVED IT!! And that statement still holds today. My Mom taped it for me the first time it was on, and when my cousin misplaced my videotape, I was shattered!! I found this rare gem one night at a Blockbuster and was absolutely overjoyed!! Now that it is out on DVD I am in heaven!! My only lament is the lack (or absence of is more like it) of extras on the DVD. But I guess being a made-for-tv movie, there really couldn't be much to work with for extras.
This movie is such a rare find. It's a first rate 80's horror movie that encompasses camp, humor, a little scariness and a great soundtrack (another should've been) and of course those laughable 80's fashions: who could forget the pumps worn with white ankle socks?? But this was so cool back then and it's still kinda cool now, in a way that probably only 80's kids can truly appreciate and understand. This is a movie that you wanna show people who've never seen it and you KNOW they'll enjoy. Sure there are a lot of incongruities like why are some zombies not decayed at all?? Well they're main characters of course and for plot purposes one of our unwitting teen characters has to fall in love with them!
For me this move is not only a good horror flick, but it conjures up memories of past Halloweens when Halloween meant having fun and being a little scared--like trick or treating (which at 25 I still miss!!), and staying up late on Halloween night and watching creepy movies with your family; a time when Halloween meant something to you and your friends and you waited all throught the month of October to get to the 31st! And school Halloween parties with cupcakes and goodies.
I know when I watch this movie, I'm that little seven year old again, in her pajamas watching the movie in the dark and getting a little laugh or a little scare here and there.
Living in Salem, MA (the self-proclaimed Halloween capital of the world) is great, but nothing holds a candle to being a kid on Halloween except maybe having "The Midnight Hour" to watch over and over again! "Halloween.....my favorite day of the year." True fans of this movie will know which character said that line!

Summary: The Midnight Hour (1985)
Review: I first watched this movie when I was 15. I saw it while looking around at a video store. After watching the movie, I was surprised on how good a movie could be without the typical blood/nudity in horror movies that come out now. I strongly recommend this movie, as it has a blend of humour and horror, and even a bit of romance. The cover makes it look scary, but don't judge it by the cover, you may be surprised once you watch it! If you are planning to buy this movie, do it, because it is definitely worth the money.

Summary: A Classic TV Movie for Halloween
Review: I first watched this movie when I was five years old and I still love it today. I try to have others watch it, but they hate it because they say it is "cheesey." But I don't care. This movie is for pure fun and entertainment. It is a blend of horror and comedy that make it an outstanding movie for people of all ages. I don't think it was intended to become the next Night of the Living Dead. If you want a decent thrill with the absence of gore and profanity, buy The Midnight Hour.

Summary: A classic 80's Horror Comedy brought to DVD
Review: I have owned this movie from I was 13 when I taped off of TV in 1985. My tape is well worn, since I have watched it every year since then for Halloween. I was happily surprised when I saw it was released on DVD! Although, this DVD is lacking on features. (Chapter Selection is the only feature) This full screen version is very clear, and the sound did quite well on my stereo system. The liner notes are poignant, and reveal that this film was brought to DVD by someone, like me, who loved it for what it is. I would kill for some behind the scenes footage, cast bios, closed captioning, or bloopers, etc. Alas, I imagine TV "movies of the week" didn't generate that kind of material, or that it would still be around 15 years later. I would definitely recommend this film, not for it's DVD features, but for it's sentimental value & quirkiness. It's quite a funny film with a "star studded" cast, a cute story (cheesy dialogue that can be forgiven) and a great oldies soundtrack.

Summary: Very good movie
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. I think it was one of the best tv movies ever made. Very clever. You don't even miss the gore, nudity, and profanity that you see in other horror movies. It is THAT good! I loved every minute of it. I'm glad to see there is a collector's edition being offered.

Summary: Red... definitely red
Review: I remember that part so vividly. Poor unwitting Shari Belafonte Harper is standing face to face with her witch ancestor, about to bite the dust (well, actually get turned into a vampire) while picking out some wine, and that's the witch/vampire's advice: red...definitely red. I'm so excited that this movie is available on DVD, because it was a truly fun film to see as a kid in the 80s. It was scary and funny and had such a great atmosphere to it. A romanticized New England Halloween spirit which fed into my idea of what Halloween is all about. Quintessentially '80s, right up there with "Thriller", and a made-for-TV descendant of John Landis's seminal horror film "An American Werewolf in London." So get out your leg warmers and crimping irons, pump up the synthesizer and demand your MTV! Look out! It's the Midnight Hour!
