SOV September: Dark Night of the Soul (1998) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Four college students head to a cemetery for a little fun and meet Sean: a skull-masked occultist with opium, tarot cards, a jester belt, and enough speeches about the mental plane to make them wish they'd stayed home. Originally released as Scorpio, this Florida shot-on-video nightmare was written by John Brodie, who also cast himself as Sean. Ron Atkins flew in from Las Vegas to shoot it in four days.

Along the way, we uncover the film's bizarre production history, the unbelievable reshoots, and ask whether this forgotten cult oddity is merely offensive, fascinating... or both? PLUS: Battle of the Ba
