	Movies - Bloodbath at the House of Death

Bloodbath at the House of Death was a comedy horror film produced in 1983 by the late British comedian, Kenny Everett, and starred Vincent Price.

The film was centred around a mansion called Headstone Manor, set somewhere in England, but is said to be accessed of a road named the A5027. 18 people staying at the Manor when it was used as a Gentlemans' Weekend Retreat and Girl Summer Camp in 1975 were slaughtered:

2 were axed to death
2 had their throats slit
1 man was hanged
2 girls were struck by lightning
1 man watching underwent spontaneous combustion and blew up
4 were stabbed to death
6 were frozen to death in the Manors' freezer

The Manor was abandoned after the murders, and was nicknamed "The House of Death" by the newspapers. In 1983 (the present day), a group of scientists journey to the Manor to investigate unusual radiation readings picked up nearby while investigating the Manors' dark history.

The scientists (except for one, played by Pamela Stephenson) all meet gruesome deaths and are replaced by demons impersonating them. The deaths are all parodies of other horror films, including Carrie, The Exorcist and The Shining. There was also a reference to Everetts' Captain Kremmen character, when using the same German accent as one of his Kremmen characters.

When the film was rated, it was said to be so disgusting, that it wasn't allowed to be released at the cinemas. Being Kenny Everetts' only attempt at making a film, he returned to his work on the British radio station, BBC Radio 2.

The film was later released exclusively in Great Britain late 1983 as an "18" rated film. No copies were ever sold abroad until the establishment of e-Bay in 1995.
