DEMONS (1985)
October 15 : 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
“A gleefully over-the-top splatterfest … one of the 80s’ best genre films” – 48Hills
Welcome to the most life-enriching Italian terror-party of 1985. Produced by Dario Argento (Suspiria) and directed by Lamberto Bava, DEMONS follows a panorama of punks, preppies, and ne’er-do-wells as they get trapped in a movie theater and possessed by gut-shredding Satanic demonoids. Featuring songs by Mötley Crüe and Billy Idol—not to mention a classic spooky-groovy score by the legendary Goblin—plus gloopy effects, a terrifically Halloween-y atmosphere, and the iconic Geretta Geretta in a lead role, this is the most fun you’ll ever have in a movie theater while watching a movie about beasties on the loose in a movie theater!
Ticket proceeds for this screening benefit Hester’s Hope Foundation. Established in 2021 after losing Eddie Hester — who was a huge fan of the film DEMONS — Hester’s Hope was founded to reduce the day to day stress for people with blood and marrow cancers, their families, and their caregivers.
