It’s Halloween eve, and we’ll be playing some whacked-out horror movies on the backlot all night long! Tickets reserve you a seat, where you can watch some or all of our night of insanity. The program will include…

ZOMBIE: Lucio Fulci’s Zombie (a.k.a. Zombi 2, Zombie Flesh Eaters, Sanguella, The Island of the Living Dead, Zombie Flesh Eaters, The Dead Walk Among Us, Gli Ultimi Zombi, Woodoo, L’Enfer de Zombies, Zombie 2: The Dead Are Among Us and Nightmare Island). Whatever you call it, this ultra-gory voodoo-zombie slash-’em-up remains one of cinema’s most exhilaratingly bloody treasures. The film tells the story of a Caribbean island cursed by voodoo whose dead residents rise as zombies to attack the living. A scientist’s daughter journeys to the island after her father’s boat turns up abandoned in New York City. From its notorious eye-gouging scene to its zombie-vs.-shark battle to its iconically synthtastic score, Zombie never fails to impress.

FRANKENHOOKER: Frank Henenlotter’s Frankenhooker is “a grisly, grotesque horror comedy recommended only for the stout of heart and strong of stomach.” (Variety) The Frankenstein legend gets stitched up by the makers of Basket Case and Brain Damage in this outrageous horror comedy. When his pretty fiancee “goes to pieces” under the blades of a runaway lawnmower, aspiring mad scientist Jeffrey Franken hatches an unorthodox scheme to bring his beloved back to life. He reassembles his girlfriend from the body parts of New York prostitutes. But his dreamgirl runs amok on 42nd Street, turning tricks that literally make people’s head spin. Can Jeffrey still find true love? Or has he created a monster?

THINGS: “Three friends get together to drink beers and eat peanut butter and jam sandwiches at a cabin or small home. However, there fun and games are halted by the appearance of the ‘things’ – bug-like monsters who feed off the blood of their prey. While films like The Room and Birdemic seem to be constant contenders for the best ‘so bad it’s good’ movie, this Canadian film from the late 80s is the true unheralded champion among many cinephiles. Many feel that Things is a poorly shot, written and directed film that is almost impossible to follow, narrative-wise. Consequently, it is usually far from what anyone would call a ‘great film,’ but for the right crowd, it is one of the best cinematic experiences to come out of Canada.”
