With everybody and their cousin making Amityville movies these days, it has gotten impossible to keep track of them. Back when the franchise was so easy to follow there could even be numbers in the title, the fourth film – Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes skipped theatres in favor of an NBC premiere. But the movie will be showing on the big screen next Tuesday, October 26th, as the folks at Rifftrax are bringing it to theaters so they can make a mockery of it for an Amityville 4 Rifftrax Live event that Fathom Events will be beaming out nationwide. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased at THIS LINK.
Here’s the information on RiffTrax Live: Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes:
There’s still evil up there at the old Amityville house. A group of priests gathers to quell the demon that has long plagued this lovely five-bed, four-bath Dutch Colonial full of old-world charm and lots of curb appeal. BUT – the evil escapes! Which should have been made obvious by the movie’s title. And how does it escape? Like all evil does: by possessing a tacky floor lamp, getting sold at a garage sale and shipped to Los Angeles, where most evil household décor eventually finds a home.
Soon the demonic floor lamp begins its reign of terror in the home of an innocent family, killing pets and home repairmen, forcing children to use power tools in unsafe ways, and possessing the soul of the youngest sister Jessica, who immediately begins to act like a total jerk.
It’s up to the young priest Father Kibbler to save the family and confront the evil lamp, face-to-bulb, before more people die. Okay, more people DO die, but can Father Kibbler finally put an end to it? Join Bill, Mike and Kevin in theaters nationwide for the perfect Halloween treat – a night with Rifftrax Live and Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes!
Written and directed by Sandor Stern, Amityville 4: The Evil Escapes stars Patty Duke, Jane Wyatt, Fredric Lehne, Aron Eisenberg, Lou Hancock, Brandy Gold, and Zoe Trilling. The Rifftrax riffers are, of course, Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett.
This sounds like an Amityville 4 Rifftrax will be a really fun way to celebrate the Halloween season.
