Rating: 3/5
During the 1970s, Jack Delroy hosted a late-night talk show called Night Owls. Though trying to compete with Carson, the show had middling reviews. When Jack took the show in a Jerry Springer-like direction, the show tanked. So, during sweeps week and on Halloween night, Jack puts together a show guaranteed to get big ratings.
The most apt comparisons are Ghostwatch or WNUF Halloween Special, but this movie breaks the illusion with “behind the scenes” footage filmed in The Office style.
While a little long and cheap-looking, the movie is fun and creates memorable visuals. I was enthralled for most of the movie, which is more than I can say for several horror movies.
