God and Satan are on board a train and discuss the fate of three individuals. In the first story, "The Case of Harry Billings", a man is kidnapped and taken to an insane asylum where he is put under hypnosis and lures victims to be tortured and murdered as part of an organ-harvesting operation. The second story, "The Case of Gretta Connors", entails two young lovers who become involved in a sinister cult of people fascinated with death. The final story "The Case of Claire Hansen" involves an apprentice to the Devil who is out to destroy mankind and a group of immortals who are out to stop him.
Night Train to Terror is actually pieced together from three other films:
Footage from this film was also later edited into Marilyn Alive and Behind Bars (1992).
In the end credits, Satan is credited as being played by "Lu Sifer" and God by "Himself".
The film was given a limited release theatrically by Visto International Inc. in 1985.[1] The film received poor reviews and less than spectacular box office attraction.
The film is often compared to the likes of Plan 9 From Outer Space due to its bad dialogue, poor editing, and numerous continuity errors.
