TALES FROM THE CRYPT: DEMON KNIGHT (1995)
U.S. | 92 mins | Dir.
Ernest Dickerson | 35mm
The Crypt Keeper,
"one of the hardest-working stiffs in show biz," makes his big-scream
debut hosting this diabolically funny frightmare that will leave you shrieking
for more.
Billy Zane is the
seductively evil Collector, forever in pursuit of Brayker (William Sadler), a
mysterious drifter with an ancient key that holds the power to block the forces
of darkness from destroying humanity. In his quest for the key, the Collector
conjures up a gruesome cadre of cadavers - who have definitely been out of the
freezer too long - to bedevil the inhabitants of a run-down hotel. Armed with
sacred blood, automatic weapons and really strong stomachs, Brayker, beautiful,
strong-willed Jeryline (Jada Pinkett) and other hotel boarders must try to
defeat the Collector and his fiendish army. Who among them will make it to the
"mourning light?"
Watch your backs,
boils and ghouls, while you savor this terrorific tale of good vs. evil that
boasts awesome special effects, plus the Crypt Keeper's brand of delightful
deadpan humor. You'll die laughing!
NIGHT OF THE DEMONS (1988) [30th
Anniversary Screening]
U.S. | 90 mins | Dir.
Kevin Tenny | 35mm
It's Halloween night.
And a group of good-time teens has broken into an abandoned funeral parlor with
plans to raise a little hell. And that's exactly what they do. For their
intrusion has awakened an ancient, demonic evil whose hunger for human souls
knows no bounds. And now, the monstrous predator is out to turn their Halloween
party into an unending celebration of sheer terror.
The visual sorcery of
special effects master Steve Johnson delivers high-voltage shivers in a
terrifying encounter of the supernatural kind. So be prepared for an evening of
horror you'll never forget. Get ready for the NIGHT OF THE DEMONS.
976-EVIL (1989)
U.S. | 92 mins | Dir.
Robert Englund | 35mm
Director Robert
"Freddy Krueger" Englund dials up a contemporary gothic tale of
high-tech horror in 976-EVIL. High school underdog Hoax Wilmoth (Stephen
Geoffreys, "Fright Night"), fills up the idle hours in his seedy
little hometown fending off the local leather-jacketed thugs, avoiding his
overbearing, religious fanatic mother (Sandy Dennis) and dreaming of a date
with trailer park temptress Suzie (Lezlie Deane). But his quietly desperate
life takes a terrifying turn when his cousin Spike introduces him to an unusual
new hobby - phoning in for his "Horrorscope." Because instead of the
slightly kinky astrological predictions he's expecting, Hoax is hooked-up with
a compellingly demonic force that slowly begins to overtake his entire life.
Now there's more than just a phone bill to pay for anyone and everyone who ever
dared cross "the neighborhood nerd"...
