CUJO with Dee Wallace: Special Presentation

Details

LOCK YOUR DOORS, ROLL UP YOUR WINDOWS, AND PREPARE FOR A HOWLING SATURDAY NIGHT AS POPCORN FRIGHTS UNLEASHES THREE TERRIFYING TALES WITH HORROR ICON DEE WALLACE IN PERSON–INCLUDING 4K RESTORATIONS OF STEPHEN KING’S CUJO, WES CRAVEN’S THE HILLS HAVE EYES, AND JOE DANTE’S THE HOWLING!

His bite is worse than his bark. Much, much worse… Stephen King’s Castle Rock gets a taste of white-knuckle descent into primal terror when man’s best friend becomes a mother’s worst nightmare! In this nerve-shredding 1983 classic, a lovable St. Bernard named Cujo turns rabid after a bat bite, transforming into a slobbering engine of horror. While Cujo wreaks havoc on the countryside, Donna Trenton (horror icon Dee Wallace) finds herself fighting for her life—and her son’s—trapped in a broken-down car under the scorching sun with no help in sight.

What follows is an unrelenting, sweat-soaked siege of suspense as a mother fights tooth and claw to protect her child, isolated in the sweltering heat with no one around to help. Dee Wallace’s raw powerhouse performance makes CUJO more than just a monster movie—it’s a harrowing portrait of survival and maternal instinct.

Now, CUJO returns to the big screen in a brand-new 4K restoration as part of a special Popcorn Frights event—and it’s not just the film that’s coming back. Star Dee Wallace will be in attendance for this unforgettable night, giving fans a chance to celebrate one of the most intense and emotional performances in horror history with the scream queen herself.
