Neon Maniacs (1986)

When the world is ruled by violence, and the soul of mankind fades, the children’s path shall be darkened, by the shadows of the Neon Maniacs!

Neon Maniacs (also known in some markets as Evil Dead Warriors) is a horror movie set in the heart of San Francisco where the legions of the damned lay waiting beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. It is directed by Joseph Mangine and stars Leilani Sarelle, Andrew Divoff, Victor Brandt, and Jessie Lawrence Ferguson.

As night falls, the Neon Maniacs are unleashed upon the city to carve terror into the souls of the innocent. But when one young woman named Natalie escapes a bloody teen slaughter, she cannot convince anyone that a rampaging army of psychotic ‘monsters’ has mutilated her friends.

Now haunted, hunted and having a hard time in high school, Natalie must arm herself and her classmates for one final bizarre battle against the horror of the “Neon Maniacs.”
