We have Linda Blair for the day

Warning: Spoilers
And I think that's all they had... They didn't have a script.

So the plot, if you want to call it that, is that a woman and her friend to to visit her father's cabin, where he's a FX specialist. Except his effects kind of suck, even for the 1980's... The family is attacked by a gang of "Punkers", I guess because we were all scared of Punk Rockers for about five minutes in the 1980's.

So in the course of their rampage of murder and near rape, they release a super-human monster locked in the basement. Most of the PUnkers are killed, but the remaining two are killed by Tab Hunter, who was the Linda Blair character's unlcle, who was also a deformed monster.

Then it goes to a weird scene where it's just a movie, and Frank N. Stein (get it) and the Wolf Mann decide to show the screening audience why classic monsters are scary. It's like that SNL skit where they couldn't figure out how to end it.
