Ken Johnson – Blue Sunshine (Sphere, 1977)

Based on an original screenplay by Jeff Lieberman.

Blurb:

PSYCHOSIS…

It started off as a great party – just eight of them in a ski-lodge in upstate New York. But then the last guest, Frannie, arrived. There was something wrong with Frannie’s hair. And something very wrong with his eyes. And what he did with three of the girls was too hideous for description….
That was just the start. After that, things began to happen all over New York – ugly things: psychosis, insanity, murder – and no-one could find an explanation. The police were helpless- because they didn’t know that behind all the grisly happenings lay a single, uncontrollable horror. A horror called BLUE SUNSHINE…

Blurb:

What was Anthony Ferrara doing in a darkened room with a fire burning on a hot summer night? What are the ‘unholy’ things he brought back from a holiday in Egypt? Above all, who is he? Ferrara’s friend Robert Cairn begins to suspect the answers – but the power which confronts him is more terrifying than he could ever have imagined. Long forgotten evil has come out of the darkness.  The smell of it, the chill of it, hang menacingly in the air.
