Summary
This week on the Bad Movie Night Podcast , we dive into the bizarre 1991 cult film Empire of the Dark — a movie packed with satanic cults, demons from another dimension, ninja fights, claymation monsters, and one extremely confident middle-aged action hero. Shot on film with wild matte paintings, miniature effects, and a surprisingly epic orchestral soundtrack, this forgotten B-movie somehow swings for the fences in every scene. Is it terrible? Is it amazing? Is it both? Join us as we break down the insane plot, the legendary Steve Barkett , the grocery store shootout, and the most chaotic demon-fighting finale ever put to screen. If you love obscure cult movies, ridiculous action, and hilarious commentary, this episode is for you.
