Midnight is a 1982 film by John A. Russo. It is based on Russo's 1980 novel of the same name, published by Pocket Books () (the reprint was issued in 1982 by "Independent-International Pictures" to coincide with their film release).

Nancy is alone on the road, hitchhiking to California, away from the clutches of her sleazy stepfather. She makes friends with a pair of petty crooks on a road trip, and things take a turn for the worse when they are killed by a pair of backwoods 'cops'. Nancy is then in danger of being sacrificed to Satan himself by the wayward lawmen and their twisted siblings, in a psychotic attempt to resurrect their mother’s decomposed corpse.

In 1993, Sight and Sound referred to the film as a "mediocre shocker".
