The vampires use the dark to their advantage, and surviving this cold hell is a game of cat and mouse - and screams.

THE SICK & TWISTED HORROR OF JOANNA ANGEL: Halo-8

-XXXORCIST reunites Angel and Pistol, this time as possessed teen Regan MacFeel and exorcist-priest Father Merkin. Regan's mother warns Merkin that this is no ordinary case, but that doesn't stop this exorcist from braving the green bile and spinning heads of demonic possession.
