Night of the Demons (1988)
"Do you guys have sour balls?"
"Why, sure we do."
"Too bad, I bet you don't get many blowjobs."

I'm unexpectedly all in for this one! far outdid my expectations and made me intrigued for the (presumably awful)#sequels.#an undeniably essential part of the late 80s cheapo dtv horror canon
