Hell Night
Pray For Day
As an initiation rite into Alpha Sigma Rho fraternity, four pledges must spend a night in Garth Manor, twelve years to the day after the previous resident murdered his entire family. Two of the pledges, Marti, and Jeff ignore the rumors that the now-deserted mansion is haunted by a crazed killer, until one-be-one, members of their group mysteriously disappear. Could this be a part of a fraternity prank or is a demented former tenant seeking revenge.
When their seemingly innocent rite of passage turns deadly, these college students will do anything to survive Hell Night.

Early '80s teen terror (again) and not a good one - Coconut_Willy
I don't know how many of these films were made but it appears that there is always another one that I had not seen. Classic storyline of college students organizing some sort of party that does not turn out too well. Of course, they get killed one by one in different ways until, finally, the heroine (in this case Linda Blair) is the only one that gets out alive. Besides this not too original storyline, there is nothing much that this film has going for it; the cast is the standard assortment of young actors doing the usual standard acting job with a not too bad dialogue, the sets and locations are appropriate, the soundtrack is OK and the camera work is professional. On top of that, the death scenes are not very good and the special effects are not very elaborate. Absolutely forgettable.
If you must see them all you can rent this one but there are so many similar films to choose from that you should pick better ones.Blair's Darker Years - kav2001c
Hell Night starts off like a wild frat party in the vein of Animal House before setting itself up as an "Old Dark House" slasher when for "Hell Night" a group of four college students (Blair, Vincent Van Patten, Peter Barton, and Suki Goodwin) are taken off to run-down Garth Manor and are given the task of spending the night in the creepy old mansion.
Seems that the house has quite a history as twelve years prior rich man Garth had killed his wife and children (except for one who disappeared and was never found) when it turned out that after numerous tries they couldn't conceive of a "normal" baby. This gives our prankster fraternity the opportunity to set-up blaring speakers in the house and other elaborate pranks, but things start to go awry (and people start to get killed) when it turns out the missing, deformed, son has been living in catacombs under the house all this time and doesn't like the company.
