Kenneth J. Hall's 'The Halfway House'

Few horror films slice, dice and remix so many genres of sexploitation as gleefully and lovingly as The Halfway House

In its all too brief 84 minutes, we're witness to nunsploitation, reform school girls, 70's style gore, naked human sacrifice to a Lovecraftian elder god, and much, much more.

Young girls are disappearing around the Mary Magdalen Halfway House for Troubled Girls. Desperate to find her sister, Larissa Morgan (Janet Tracy Keijser from House on Haunted Hill) goes undercover to investigate the Catholic-run institution. Once inside, she meets a nasty nun, a peculiar priest, a homicidal handyman, and lots of bad girls with attitude.

Larissa endures catfights, corporal punishment and long hot showers before she learns the ultimate secret of the Halfway House - a huge one-eyed monster with tentacles and a taste for female flesh!

Cult Queen Mary Woronov stars as Sister Cecelia in the film by Writer/ Director Kenneth J. Hall (creator of the Puppet Master series).
