Prince of Darkness

“Before man walked the earth...It slept for centuries. It is evil. It is real. It is awakening.”

The Priest (Donald Pleasence) has found a sealed canister of swirling green liquid beneath a Los Angeles monastery, kept hidden by a church that would rather it stayed forgotten. He calls in physics professor Howard Birack (Victor Wong), who brings his graduate students to the abandoned church to study it. Carpenter's story holds that evil is a physical substance, one that could be measured and contained.
