"My God! The Chemicals! We Could Have Been Exploded!"...

Warning: Spoilers
After opening with a gruesome murder, as well as the explanation for the whole Richard Nixon mask thing, HORROR HOUSE ON HIGHWAY FIVE unfolds. Indeed, the tricky Dick-ster is up to mischief once more!

Meanwhile, at a local college, three students are chosen to complete a project centered on the V-2 rocket. Coincidentally, the man who invented the rocket lives nearby. One of the students are to interview the inventor and his associates, while the other two drive a van out into the middle of nowhere to run experiments. Complicating matters is the fact that all three students are imbeciles.

Sally, the interviewer, finds her interviewees to be complete idiots. Sadly for Sally, these particular idiots are also dangerous! A comedy of terrors ensues, including mistaken identity, abduction, torture, Nazis, black magic, murder, and further absurdity.

Back at the van, the other two "scholars" scramble to assemble their V-2 rocket, not allowing a mutilated cat to dissuade them. In reality, one student named Louise does the work, while the other one smokes one joint after another.

Oh no!

Engine trouble causes them to be stranded overnight! Not far away, Richard M. -for Murder- Nixon continues his reign of terror! This all culminates in a nightmare of idiocy at the titular house.

Is this a great movie? Good? Well, no, but it is okay, and suitable for an evening of mindless, inebriated entertainment...

P. S.- You've got to love Louise! She's the only character in the entire movie who has more than just pudding between their ears!...
