Hollow Gate (1988): A Late '80s Halloween Slasher You've Never Seen!

Trick or Trash is back, boils and ghouls! This week in the Video Dungeon were diving into the VHS-era slash fest that time forgot: in this video we break down Hollow Gate, the low-budget 1988 horror that’s equal parts cheesy, creepy and campy. A group of friends heads out for a weekend getaway… only to run into a mentally unstable killer who really takes Halloween way too seriously. Cheap thrills, awkward dialogue, and of course fake blood — this one has everything you’d expect from a low-budget VHS-era gem. Whether you’re an 80s horror fanatic or just love digging up hidden gems, you’re in for an entertaining ride. In this review you’ll get: ✅ A quick summary of the plot (no major spoilers — until the “deep dive” section) ✅ How the film fits into late-80s slasher conventions and why it stands out (or doesn’t) ✅ Highlights of production quirks, acting oddities, gore scenes, and atmosphere ✅ Our Verdict: Is Hollow Gate worth hunting down on VHS / streaming?
