Plot synopsis
Diane (Brinke Stevens), a prim and proper grad student, rents a spooky old house from a creepy realtor (Michael Berryman). Unfortunately for Diane, an ancient demon (Oliver Darrow) resides in her basement. Diane is soon possessed by the spirits of the house, who turn her into a leather-clad, chainsaw-wielding succubus.
When Diane's sister Sally (Elena Sahagun), Sally's brother-in-law Mike (Jay Richardson) and Diane's boyfriend Jeff (Tom Shell) come to visit only to be attacked by Diane's demonic incarnation, they summon a priest, Father McFerrin (Robert Quarry), to handle the situation.
Failing in the task, Father McFerrin attempts to call an exorcist, only to dial the wrong number and unwittingly place an order at the local pizza parlor. When the pizza delivery boy (Eddie Deezen) arrives at the house, it's up to him and the rest of the gang to destroy the demon and stop his nefarious scheme.

Reception
Critical reception to Teenage Exorcist was primarily negative, though it has received mixed praise from cult film audiences. Legendary film critic Joe Bob Briggs, though giving the film only 1 star, was amused by the film's low-brow humor and Brinke Stevens' revealing costumes, awarding it with his catchphrase "Joe Bob says check it out".[1] Allmovie gave the movie a rating of two stars out of five without a written review.[2]
