MAY’S EROTIC THRILLS IN THE NIGHT: POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT (1994)
If you solely base this movie by the poster and title, it checks every box in the genre and you can pretty much predict what you’re about to watch. The title is a throw-anything-at-the-wall word scramble that resembles every other film of the genre. “Possessed”, “heat”, “passion”, “elicit”, “indecent”, “fatal”, “seduction” and “mortal” are just some of the keywords in the erotica explosion universe. Plus, of utmost paramount is that buxom name at the top: SHANNON TWEED. The empress of erotica has been featured in our Erotic Thrills In The Night chronicles before and I guarantee she will keep showing up over and over because to date she’s starred in 7,000 erotic thrillers. As for today, our focus is 1994’s POSSESSED BY THE NIGHT for the month of May!
With all that said, you shouldn’t judge a horny thriller by its cover because Possessed By The Night is the sensitive story of a one-eyed mutant embryo in a jar that controls people by awakening their sexual instincts. Fear not though — there are still plenty of softcore scenes featuring an ever-so tantalizing Tweed, just with the inclusion of a living blob this time around. Here’s a quick synopsis:
Howard Hansen (Ted Prior) is a famous novelist who is struggling with his latest book. For inspiration, he brings home a bizarre artifact which strangely draws his inner most thoughts and desires to the surface. But while his writing improves, his behavior takes a menacing turn, exposing a dark side never known, not even to his wife (Sandahl Bergman)…until that night’s lovemaking turns into a terrifying struggle for sexual dominance (enter Shannon Tweed).
The loving husband and wife pictured above have no idea what’s about to be in store after Howard brings home this gelatinous monstrosity from an antique store which soon turns him into a sexual demon. Pretty soon, his book agent sends over a secretary named Carol (Tweed) to help Howard get organized. She immediately moves into the couple’s home and you can probably guess what happens next.
The presence of the creature seems to make people extremely horny and a bit unhinged. During these moments the blob is sort of watching from its jar while people get it on.
This is the sort of flick you would have caught at a friend’s sleepover party at 2am while everyone is sleeping but you’re wide awake after bingeing on Domino’s pizza and Funyuns. While channel surfing through the cable box in your buddy’s parents living room, it’s nothing but the weather channel, infomercials, Ricki Lake and reruns of Gilligan’s Island. All of a sudden a movie appears by the name of Possessed By The Night. You start watching and for the next 80 minutes, you are half-asleep yet completely consumed by this absurdity and it’s the best thing at that exact moment. After that night, in the pre-internet age, you spent the next 25 years wondering what whackjob movie you watched that evening.
‘Erotic Thrills In The Night’ is a monthly chronicle into the forgotten world of the erotic thriller movie genre. These sultry titles and steamy VHS covers were at their absolute peak during the early 1990’s but as years progress, they fall deeper into the abyss. Inspired by the recent documentary We Kill For Love, this monthly feature will attempt to resurrect these films and keep you on the brink of seduction. We can’t predict what indecent behavior will be committed or how much illicit, unprotected, promiscuous activity will ensue, but prepare for a wild ride with lots of saxophone.

I think I might almost regret typing Shannon’s full name into the Tubi search engine, based on all the film results I got.
