The Outing AKA The Lamp (1987 87 minutes)

People will never learn. Those magic lamps are  a ruse and the Genie inside just wants to get out and kick ass on mankind. The people on the old timey boat didn't get it. Those 3 swamp hillbillies who broke into that old witch's house to steal her riches didn't get it and the group of teenagers who decide to spend the night in the museum after the field trip certainly don't get it. And then you've got that awful ex-boyfriend Mike to deal with. He thinks he's so cool with his sunglasses on a string and sleeveless shirt and tie. He's a reckless driver, picks fights with girls, says the 'N' word and carries a butterfly knife. But he must have some powerful friends because 5 minutes after getting arrested he's at school pushing your face in a locker and then after getting kicked out of school he's hanging out right outside. Oh, and he'll be at the museum tonight too, along with that genie. We get death by ceiling fan, spear, poison snake attack, ceremonial horned mask, reanimated mummy, and giant genie demon before it's all said and done. I bet that lamp is still around somewhere just waiting for another dumbass to rub it.
