  • nobody cares about what time period this is supposed to take place in. and if you do, youre not watching the movie right. :/

  • Guys guys, you are ALL wrong about the 70s/80s thing. There WAS big hair, neon colours, colourful clothes etc etc in the 70s as well as throughout the 80s.There was also this look here going on too.There were a variety of different fashions going on, not just the one or the other, loud stuff as well as the casual understated look.

    This filming style is also quite accurate for the 70s/early 80s style.Crazy hair/ clothes and colourful geometric stuff were just as much a part of the 70s as the 80s.

  • These scene is actually pretty creepy ! :)

  • This movie was AWESOME! I watched it the other night thinking it was an actual movie from the 80s horror movie that I had somehow missed from my childhood. Excellent job, I hope they make a sequel or more like it. The 80s were fun times!

  • this movie made me so happy brought me back to my early childhood, and the ending if you like rosemary's baby worked perfect. It was a nice taught simple movie and Ti west and the crews attention to subtle detail and camera work was seamless just watch "Wolfen" "the Sentinel" and many others worked great.

  • Good movie; better song!!

  • They did a wonderful job creating the early 80's vibe of horror movies. Was a time when movies percolated and built, and even if the end wasn't climactic, you still felt horrified just by the scenario. People today are spoiled by movies, they want instant gratification and have short attention spans - get bored too easily and need the next new flashy thing.

  • @jephybean haha, but the end in this one is definitely climatic yo. best slow-burn climax since Halloween (1978, of course)

    :D This immediately made my top 5 horror favorite list. Ti West has a good thing goin for him.

  • This song was released in 1983.

  • She was not very smart in this movie at all. dancing around the people's house and then broke something. I do love the song though!

  • @Rez34534 This is an exciting movie.

  • She is rockin' that swatch ;)

  • Also, anyone catch the scene where she ordered pizza and the guy asked if she wanted extra anchovies? lol, had to have been a joke about that Patrick Dempsey flick Loverboy.

  • @Daemonocracy Yeah I caught that.....lol.

    He's evil looking but he has a dark handsome thing going on *giggles* :)

  • This movie nailed the early 80s (and 70s) horror film look which carried the movie. I don't thin it's nostalgia when I say that the 18mm film and techniques they used in the 80s made for better horror films. I seriously had to check the year twice to make sure I was actually watching a recent film, even though I recognized certain actors. This girl is pretty cute too, at least she was dancing to this song. ;)

  • this is the vintage 80s, not the bright colored, loud mid 80s as everyone is talking about.

  • @rafaelLEE93 Yeah when you think about it, the actual 80s as everyone knows them, with the big hair, bright colored clothes, hair bands, doc martens boots, was actually a pretty short decade culturally. The '80s seemed to gain its own identity from the '70s sometime in the middle of the decade, peaked in '87, and ended rather abruptly after '89.

  • @Daemonocracy thank you :)

  • @Daemonocracy Nah! You're completely wrong about that. All the styles you mentioned were actually quite prevailant since the mid 70s, and carried on with different variations throughout the 80s.

    And it definately did NOT end abruptly after '89. More like it fizzled out slowly between 1992-1994. I'm being anal, I know, but you were just SO off the mark. ;D

  • i watched it and thought '' how does ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER fit into this movie ??" IT IS A TOTALLY 70'S MOVIE

  • yea, this movie is a throwback to the 70's, not the 80's. take that Fixx song away and it is totally 70's

  • i thought this movie was 70's aside from the Fixx song.

  • She dances to the beat going up the stairs :)

  • Hey i was born in the 80's does that count being kewl like this song? lol :)

  • She has a great ass!

  • I love I love this song so much

  • three things, first, wicked song, second, I miss the eighties like crazy and would trade all the 'twitters' in the world to have them back and third, does her dance remind anyone else of the Joker's in the original Batman movie-ish?

  • Btw- i'm home alone, listening to this and thinking about house of the devil. Think i'm paranoid? You would be right. Because yes I am. XD

  • It's funny that this is 'so 80's' yet the movie was made now. XD

  • People seem to think that the 80s was all neon and big hair and heaven forbid, mullets. But watching the films throughout that era, what people seem to think is 1980-1989, is actually 1985-1992. People forget that the 70s spilled into the 80s (though it does seem that the electronic music boom hit about 1980)

  • @joshg123

    Yes, it's like when you see old shows like 'Night Gallery' with folks wearing the ugliest polyester suits youi can imagine. But most people did not dress like this. Most folks in the 80s didn't walk around with mullets and such, but they did wear high rise jeans and the clothes the actors wore in this movie.

  • Is it really THAT important what time era this movie took place in? Not everyone in the 80's wore neon colors and had wild hair. This movie did a lot better at recreating the old style better than a lot of other films.

  • One of my favorite scenes!

  • The movie that could have been an 80's classic.

  • She's so cute

  • Trust me it's the 1980's. I was there but she is very East Coast. I just watched the Fixx Video here on You Tube and she kind of mimiced the dance there. Check it out see what you think.

  • You know something... this sene is a classic. Great song cute as hell with a great ass girl dancing to one of the best songs of the 1980's. I loved the movie too, but I rented it the second time just to watch this scene.

  • personally i think this takes place in 1984, because when sam says in the pizzaria "your not the one with *84* dollars in her bank account" and honestly it think Ti put a hint in the movie because they dont really say what time this is. And @texformer early in a new decade people dress from the last decade because they just got out of it. And until the middle of the decade that when it starts to becom its own. just havin a thought.

  • this movie was AWESOME! That that they had an 80's montage scene was classic, and made me scream for joy :P

  • not sure what the guy saying this isnt 80's . Its has a 80s feel to it for me... I digged this movie. I mean, yeah it does have and 70'ish camrea feel to it, but for some reason I feel, like its 1980 something or other. thanks for this post.

  • I think this is one of the best horror films to come out in the last 10 years!

  • Me and samantha are swatchin:)

  • I'd bang her, she's hot.

  • After watching this movie, I immediately did this dance and failed.

  • 0 Dislikes…thts wat I like to see, FANTASIC MOVIE Btw

  • Excellent 80s-styled montage. Instant classic. Great movie, great decade.

  • I'm old enough to remember when this song was on the radio and to be honest I never liked it. Watching this movie last night with the volume really loud totally changed my mind. Great song, and even better scene.

  • One of my fave scenes in one of the best horror flicks to come out in the past 5 years. I love how this utterly clueless girl is stupid enough to listen to her Walkman in a spooky house, making it for sure that she won't be able to hear any creepy people coming up behindg her. A new low (high?) in horror film protagonists!

    Btw, I rented this film from Netflix and will end up buying it used somewhere online coz I can't stop watching it. GREAT details.

  • I got my The house of the Devil VHS tape on ebay!!! and under ten bucks! while most are around 30-40 bucks.:)

  • @rafaelLEE93

    But do you have the DVD or Blu Ray, so you can abstain from watching

    the VHS and keeping it in full collector status?

  • @compsciguy yup, i bought the dvd first. And i just got the vhs:)

  • I have that tape! i jam out to it with my walkman haha:p

  • One of the best things about this movie is that it wasn't trying to be cute like the frigging "Scream" movies.

  • @SLATania74

    Uh..I think all the slashers from Scream onward were

    satirical and self aware of the genre. This is a throwback to

    when satire was not common in horror movies. This isn't a

    slasher flick, either.

  • This is a goodie. The actress is just beautifull... bouncing around with her big butt.

  • @Armandelis Poor girl, she can't dance around without her big butt knocking over something. Everything her butt touches dies.

  • @Armandelis

    lol dumb fuk, shes pretty but doesnt have a big butt are u blind ?

  • She's so hot!

  • I can't get enough of this, too! So good!

  • Weird how a catchy 80's dance can become incredibly suspenseful in the context of the movie.

  • I knew I would find this scene here, I just randomly rented this movie and watched this scene over and over and I was like I hope someone posted it on youtube and sure enough here it is

  • thank u for posting this

  • look how old that walkman is

  • please anybody what is that song Heather were listening to while she waiting for Sam in the car?name of that song?

  • @Laostar7

    Heather?

  • @Laostar7 umm that was Megan, she was played by Greta Goodwin, And heather was her slutty roomate, which is actually her real actress name.

  • CLASSIC!

  • I love this scene and I rank this movie up there with great classics like Dazed And Confused,A Stranger In The House and Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Thanks for posting this,you rock!

  • @mxbites As somebody who lived the 80s, I can say the style of this movie was not 80s at all. It was 60s-70s. I don't know why the director chose the look from the 60s-70s, then used 80s music. Plus, the two 80s songs he used were far apart in years. The Break Up song - 1981. One Thing Leads To Another - 1984 or 85. By that time people were dressing all flashy with neon colors. No girl was wearing flannel shirts tucked into jeans. Weird Science , Sixteen Candles, Ruthless People. That was 80s :)

  • @texformer Go find Chuck Norris so he roundhouse your ass back to 1985. While you're there tell Doc Brown all about it.

  • @Surisis1983

    Surisis you da best man.

  • @texformer I completely agree with you... I think this is an excellent film. The director "Ti West chose" to use 70's style camera work and give the film an early 80s setting with a more quiet down feel. I was born in the mid 80s and I love the decade, and NEON colors is almost a must for girls in the 80s but for this film I can understant what he was trying to do.

  • yeah i was just wonder what the name of this movie was. i saw it on t.v but i didnt get to see the name of it was. just post it on here if you know or have any guesses thanx :)

  • @lostandleft4dead uhm....it's called House of the Devil. that's why the post is titled "Dancing at the House of the Devil". and I don't think it's been on TV yet other than video on demand.

  • i thought the movie was really boring, but some good acting and this scene/song is great.

  • Comment removed

  • What's the name of that song?

  • @thebrutalteacher i was curious to know too, just found it out - it's 'One Thing Leads To Another' by The Fixx. Good old 80's. Great, great film too.

  • that scene is just great and the movie even greater!

    thanks for posting!
