The film's producer said at the time he wanted "Halloween On A Train " and that's a fair summary of the plot. A group of medical students, none of whom you'd want to operate on you -ever, hire a steam train excursion for a fancy dress New Year's Eve party. Some of them are carrying a guilty secret and of course it starts to catch up with them. The cast includes magician David Copperfield as the onboard entertainment and to be honest his stunts are more engaging than the rest of the film.

Sex : No
Death : Survives ( doesn't she always ?)
Jamie went on to this film the moment Filming on Prom Night was finished.
Sandee Currie ( as Mitchy )
