Six scientists arrive at the creepy Headstone Manor to investigate a strange phenomena which was the site of a mysterious massacre years earlier where 18 guests were killed in one night. It turns out that the house is the place of a satanic cult lead by a sinister monk who plans to kill the scientists who are inhabiting this house of Satan.
Was intrigued by this based on the cover but found this spoof of the supernatural horror genre to be more of a bore and terribly unfunny. There were a couple neat camera tricks but I could not wait for this to end. At least the picture and audio of Vinegar Syndrome's Blu-ray were top-notch... 1.0/5

R-rated early 80s horror spoof with Brit humor
Several years after 18 people die at a cursed manor in England, six diverse researchers go there to investigate the mysterious goings-on.
Bloodbath at the House of Death came out the same year (1984) as another horror comedy featuring a group of paranormal investigators, Ghostbusters, but this is more akin to High Spirits, which debuted four years later. Unlike those flicks, this is more of a spoof, and R-rated at that, with silly references to Carrie, The Shining, Alien, An American Werewolf in London, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Invisible Man and The Legend of Hell House, amongst others, like Jaws, Star Wars, on and on.
Some jokes work well enough while others fall flat...
