Question
There is a movie that I saw in the early 80's about a demon that rises from his tomb and there is a wall of faces behind him that come to life.  A believe it is a woman that summons him and that he kills her immediately afterward.  I can't remember much else about the movie.  Does this sound familiar at all?  I appreciate your help......it's driving me nuts!  THANK YOU!  Steph

Answer
Hi,

Not quite sure what this movie actually is, though it does sound familiar. Perhaps it is: THE LAMP (1987), also known as The Outing (1987).

The again, it could be any of the following though I doubt it:

Evil Dead
Demons
The Church

Best of luck.
