Equinox

Clay-mation and The Devil. Sounds like a Black Sabbath song.

Plot: A fella is sent to a Lunatic Asylum following a hit and run. Seems he's a touch demented- going on about a book of Good and Evil, monsters and The Devil, so he's locked up. The young chap claims to have been on a picnic with his mate and two lovely ladies, visiting his professor when they come across a crazed old chap in a cave, a Castle (they don't seem that surprised, despite the fact that this is 1960's USA and they ain't go no Castles there) and The Book. Said book contains within it charms both Good and Evil and is capable of raising mystic forces. These forces manifest mainly on the whim of Asmodeus the Park Ranger, who also happens to be Beelzebub and on a nefarious mission.

Any who, Our hero has to battle badly made Clay monsters, large blue giants, the Devil and survive...

Budget: $6,500 (That's all!)

Gross: $?

Fun Fact: Fans of Science Fiction writing will appreciate a small appearance by author- Fritz Leiber. There are a few real similarities between scenes in Equinox and The Evil Dead but Sam Raimi has neither confirmed nor denied it's influence on his film.
