Invitation to Hell is a 1982 horror film directed by Michael J. Murphy about Satan possessing several people at a countryside English estate.
Laura invites her college friend Jacky out to her country estate for a costume party. What Jacky does not know is that she is a pawn in a demonic game. That evening she is drugged and taken out to what appears to be a black magic altar. The next morning she awakens with claw-like scratches on her legs and, when she tries to escape, finds she is trapped in this location. But why are her friends keeping her here and who do they truly serve?
Invitation to Hell was made specifically for the home video market as a double feature cassette. It was released on VHS alongside the Murphy co-feature The Last Night.
The film was released on VHS in the United Kingdom by Scorpio Video in 1983. It was later released in the United States by Mogul Communications.[1]
After being released on a series of bootleg DVD releases, the film was officially released on DVD by Sarcophilous Films in 2008.[2] This special edition release features both films and includes "making of" extras for both films.[3]
