THE 2024 FILM LINEUP
📽️ 7:00 pm - FRANKIE FREAKO (2024)
Director Steven Kostanski, 82 minutes
Workaholic yuppie Conor is in an existential rut until one night he catches a bizarre ad for a party hotline hosted by a strange dancing goblin: Frankie Freako. Could this be just the recipe to spice up his boring life?
📽️ 8:30 pm - NIGHT OF THE CREEPS (1986)
Director Fred Dekker, 88 minutes
In 1959, an alien experiment crashes to earth and infects a fraternity member. They freeze the body, but in the modern day, two geeks pledging a fraternity accidentally thaw the corpse, which proceeds to infect the campus with parasites that transform their hosts into killer zombies.
📽️ 10:15pm - THEATRE OF BLOOD (1973)
Director Douglas Hickox, 105 minutes
After being humiliated by members of the Theatre Critics Guild, Shakespearean actor Edward Kendal Sheridan Lionheart (Vincent Price) is seen committing suicide by diving into the Thames. Unbeknownst to the public, Lionheart survives and is rescued by a group of vagrants. Two years later, Lionheart sets out to exact vengeance against the critics who failed to acclaim his genius, killing them one by one in a manner very similar to murder scenes from Shakespeare's plays.
12:00 am - COSTUME CONTEST & BURGERS!
📽️ 12:15 am - OPERA (1987)
Director Dario Argento, 107 minutes
OPERA follows Betty, the star of an avant-garde production of Macbeth, as she deals with a black-gloved maniac on a mutilation spree at the opera house. With its ultra-stylized photography, complex metaphors, and intense violence, OPERA is a brilliantly deranged spectacle—and the most breathtaking horror experience of 1987. From Severin Films, see the 4K restoration of Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA)'s most accomplished giallo.
📽️ 2:15 am - RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 3 (1993)
Director Brian Yuzna, 97 minutes
Having recently witnessed the horrific results of a top secret project to bring the dead back to life, a distraught youth performs the operation on his girlfriend after she's killed in a motorcycle accident.
📽️ 4:00 am - FROSTBITER: WRATH OF THE WENDIGO (1995)
Director Tom Chaney, 84 minutes
According to Native American lore, there is a deadly, supernatural being inhabiting the snowy lands of the North, destined to rise up to strike terror into the hearts of those foolish enough to desecrate its resting place. A group of hunters, with guns blazing and a lust for blood, disturb the peace of a remote island, awakening the invincible wrath of Wendigo, the demon "Frostbiter.” Featuring stop-motion creature effects and a starring role by The Stooges’ guitarist Ron Asheton, FROSTBITER is a 1990s video store favourite.
📽️ 5:40 am - GHOULIES 2 (1987)
Director Albert Band, 90 minutesThe Ghoulies wreak havoc at an amusement park, disposing of those who mistake them for mere fairground attractions.
Marathon Concludes @ 7:00 am
