Late Night with the Devil

In 1977 California, Jack Delroy (Dastmalchian) is the host of the late-night variety talk show “Night Owls with Jack Delroy.”

After his wife Madeleine (Haig) dies of cancer, Jack and his talk show go on hiatus. When he returns, in order to boost the show’s low ratings, Jack decides to host a special occult-themed episode on Halloween. Special guests include psychic Christou (Bazzi), skeptic and former magician Carmichael Haig (Bliss) and parapsychologist June Ross-Mitchell (Gordon), who has also brought her latest research subject, Lilly D’Abo (Torelli). The 13-year-old Lilly is a survivor of a mass suicide by a Sa- tanic cult and claims to be possessed by a demonic spirit. As the show progresses, increasing paranormal activity plagues the set alongside memories from Jack’s past, and it becomes evident that he and the spirit possessing Lilly have met before.
