The Incubus (also known simply as Incubus) is a 1982 American horror film directed by John Hough, and starring John Cassavetes, Kerrie Keane, and John Ireland. The plot focuses on a small New England town where a mysterious figure is raping and murdering young women. The film was written by George Franklin, and based on the novel of the same name by Ray Russell.
The film unofficially features the NWOBHM band Samson, in the form of show clips taken from the film Biceps of Steel.
In a lake at a rock quarry, a young woman named Mandy and her boyfriend, Ray, are swimming. The two spend the night at the lake camping, but are attacked by an unseen figure; Ray is killed, and Mandy is taken to the hospital with a ruptured uterus and serious trauma. As the attack occurs, teenager Tim Galen experiences a recurring nightmare he has in which a woman is tortured by a monstrous figure; his grandmother, Agatha Galen, tries to dissuade him of his suspicions about the premonitory dream. At the hospital, Mandy is treated by Sam Cordell (John Cassavetes), a surgeon and physician in the small community of Galen.
There's fire on the mountain, there's fire 'cross the land
The Incubus has risen, from your soul he will command
The burning seed inside him he will impart to you
a virus in your body, corruption in your womb
[CHORUS]
Ohhhh... the Devil's Child
Ohhhh... a Jackal is born
Ohhhh... the Devil's Child
Ohhhh... the Jackal is born
Nine months of torment, a parasite unleashed
devouring it's mother, a sacrificial feast
ripping through your body like a bullet from a gun
the incubus is hungry, his lust hot as the sun
[CHORUS]
The cycle is unending, the spawn infests the earth
the jackals go on raping, concummating evil births
an orgy laced with terror and never ending lust
the incubus has risen, your life will turn to dust
[CHORUS]
Women beware, beware, beware
of the Incubus
Whoah-oh the Incubus
I am the Incubus
I am the Incubus
[Solo]
[Chorus]
