Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Kevin Tenney made this for $1 million after film school; it grossed $8 million and spawned two sequels. The Ouija planchette was custom-built with a mirror so actors could read their lines.
This hit during the Satanic Panic era when Ouija boards were literally banned in some schools; the film's 'Malfeitor' name comes from Latin for 'evildoer,' though the demon himself is disappointingly chatty for ancient evil.
