Witchboard (1986)


In 7 words or less: Fake 80's ghost boy terrorises Tawny Kitaen.

What's it all About? An annoying man brings a Ouija board to an 80's party and they contact the spirit of a dead boy (like we did in the eighties). Tawny Kitaen then gets a bit obsessive about using the board to contact the boy. Is the ghost boy, David, who he says he is? ... I smell a possession coming on.

Neighbours lighting.
Best bits? Best bits? David gets a couple of kills in, mostly by dropping things on people. There's also the oddest falling out of the window scene that I've ever seen.

Window Fall. Actual Speed.
Did it make you think thoughts? What a strange 80's curiosity this is. The kind of film, that if you had seen it when you were 8, it would never leave you. Not at all scary now, as it's just acted and produced too weirdly, but all part of what makes these films special.

Terrifying...
Would you watch it again? I will! What an odd film.

Rating (out of 100%): 52% You'd probably enjoy watching this repeatedly to pick up on all the weird acting.

Poor Tawney, after David turns her shower temp up... (really)
