Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

I played Chip and as bad - so bad it's funny - as this movie is I can't believe people are still talking about it. On the other hand it does have some of the best/worst lines ever. One complaint even thou my death scene had the blood cut out of it I believe the acting is more than bad enough to entertain. who knew people would talk about this film for so long.

Pledge Night (1988) is a really good cult horror movie.The film is about Larry Bonner, a young college kid trying to get into this fraternity. He becomes friends with the other pledges as they all go through "hell week", but once Larry's mother finds out that her son is being hazed, she tries to tell him to leave the fraternity. Larry's mother tells us her boyfriend, Sid, died in a hazing over 20 years earlier. Larry does not listen to his mother, until the ghost of Sid returns to wreck havoc on the fraternity. See, you should always listen to your mother! The first 45 minutes are very funny as the pledges have to do very "entertaining" games and rituals, such as the "cherry race". As I said, the first 45 minutes of the film are amusing, it's like watching Animal House or Revenge Of The Nerds. But, after the 45 minute mark, the film turns into your typical 1980's slasher film (which is just fine!)complete with fairly gory special effects. This movie is hard to track down on vhs, but you can find a so called "uncut" copy on pal dvd through Dragon Entertainment.

I just wanted to thank everyone who has ever gone to the trouble to see PLEDGE NIGHT. We shot it for next to no money in a couple of actual frat houses at Rutgers University in the middle of a blizzard in January of 1988 (any brothers out there remember us?). My name's Arthur Lundquist, and I played Badman Dan, the frat brother pretending to be brain damaged, who gets to kill off half the cast until the demon who drives me takes on human form and bursts through my stomach.It was just a cheap slasher film, but the blizzard gave us some extra atmosphere, the stuff about fraternity initiations is actually pretty accurate, and I think Acid Sid is pretty cool.We lost a lot of stuff in order to keep an R rating. We actually shot the frat boy having to swallow a worm, and you never got to see me pour honey over the poor guy's face and then dump a pile of positively enormous cockroaches on top. And when I killed the girl with the egg beater, there was a moment when I study her face, examining the condition of death, which becomes slowly more disturbing to me. Alas, the censors decreed that we could show breasts and we could show blood, but we could not show breasts and blood in the same shot. So out went that moment. Too bad, 'cause I think it had my best work in the entire film.Oh, the girl who I electrocute in the bathtub? You are seeing her in her last day as an actress. She never got a break, and had decided to leave acting, but wouldn't do it till she had at least one speaking part in a feature film. She got this part, and it wasn't great, but at least it had dialogue. She spent the whole night in a bathtub, which got progressively colder and colder as the (January) shoot went on. We shot the scene, it proved that someone liked her work enough to cast her in a feature film, and the next day she got on a train and left New York and acting forever. I wish her well.Me, I'm still out there. If you liked PLEDGE NIGHT, you might want to give THE REGENERATED MAN a glance. As a kid who grew up watching ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS and RETURN OF THE APE MAN on late night TV, it feels nice to think that someone might come across my work late on a cold winter's night.Arthur Lundquist

This is quite an amusing horror/comedy. I loved the 7O's zombie's comment -"thats for Spiro Agnew!" Story revolves around a guy who was accidentally killed in the 70's in a Uni initiation ceremony. Years later his zombie/ghost body comes up to wreak revenge and havoc on the latest class of freshman who erroneously believed the worst that could happen to them was eating worms. They were wrong!!!
