Double Feature: THE FUNHOUSE, 1981, Universal Pictures, 96 min. This stylish
and atmospheric slasher from American master of horror Tobe Hooper centers on four
teenagers who unwisely set up camp at a carnival funhouse for a night of cheap thrills.
The sleepover quickly becomes a deadly nightmare as the kids realize they are being
stalked by a ghastly carnival freak - a freak who shows no lack of creativity when it
comes to carnival props doubling as slaughter weapons. Trailer
THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE,
1974, MPI Media, 83 min. One of the best American horror films of all time. After hearing
of a cemetery desecration, Marilyn Burns and friends go on a jaunt in the broiling Texas
countryside to check on her grandparents’ graves, only to become stranded at the
rural home of a family of inbred cannibals. Director Tobe Hooper expertly escalates the
horror until you can’t stand it anymore! Discussion
between films with director Tobe Hooper, moderated by Mick Garris. Trailer | Buy Tickets
Saturday, August 21 – 7:30 PM
Double Feature: EVIL DEAD II, 1987, Rosebud Releasing Corporation, 84 min.
Dir. Sam Raimi. Bruce Campbell returns to battle demons in the woods (and his own
possessed hand!) in a sequel that tops the original EVIL DEAD for sheer speed and
inventiveness. Trailer
ARMY OF DARKNESS, 1992,
Universal Pictures, 96 min. Dir. Sam Raimi. The third EVIL DEAD movie sends Ash (Bruce
Campbell) back in time to 1300 to battle skeletons with his chainsaw and shotgun. The
result is a hilarious, action-packed hybrid of JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS, the Three Stooges
and Mark Twain. Trailer | Buy
