Reincarnation of the Masters

Collection of four classic horror films. In 'Friday the 13th' (1980), a group of fun-loving teenagers take jobs at a recently reopened summer camp, unaware of the circumstances that had led to its closure: the drowning of a young boy named Jason and the subsequent murder of two counsellors over 20 years before.

No sooner has the camp re-opened for business than the killing begins again, as the teens are picked off one by one.

In 'The Exorcist' (1973), actress Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn) has every reason to be content, having just completed a film with director Burke Dennings (Jack MacGowran).

However, she becomes disturbed by the changes taking place in her 12-year-old daughter Regan (Linda Blair).

At first sullen and withdrawn, Regan becomes aggressive and blasphemous, and ugly welts appear on her face and body.

No medical cure is forthcoming, and after Burke is killed by being thrown from Regan's window, Chris turns to local Jesuit priest Father Damien Karras (Jason Miller) for help.

Karras then calls in exorcist Father Lankester Merrin (Max von Sydow), who confirms that Regan is possessed by the devil.

In 'Poltergeist' (1982), things start going bump in the night in a suburban home, much to the consternation of its resident family.

When the youngest daughter gets sucked into the television screen, her parents call in an eccentric psychic for assistance.

Finally, in 'The Shining' (1980), seeking solitude in order to write a novel, Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) takes a job as an off-season caretaker at the remote Overlook Hotel in Colorado.

Eager to get started, Jack disregards warnings that the isolation drove a former caretaker mad, and moves into the massive resort with his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd).

But Danny has a supernatural gift which makes him aware of an evil lurking in the hotel, and sure enough, as winter storms cut the hotel off from civilisation, Jack gradually becomes murderously insane.
