Trivia:
Linda Blair once stated in an interview with Fangoria magazine that the original title of the film wasn't as exploitive, and as associate producer, she could have sued to fight the change, but it would have ended up costing her more money than she got out of the whole project. moreFAQ

Hilarious over-the-top 'punkers' terrorize and kill an innocent family...only to be stalked by a vengeful deformed 'son' who lives in a secret room of the house. Should have ended there, but Tab Hunter makes an entrance adding 20 useless minutes to this already suffering film.
One of the worst movies to get wide theatrical release, it is destined to become a bad movie favorite in years to come. 3/10
