THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE (1974)
On what seemed like a perfect day in August, 1973, five teenagers went for a drive. They were headed for a nightmare. In a ghoulish house, littered with remains of dead animals, waited a family of maniacal killers. They would emerge, adorned with bones, skulls and animal skins, to turn the peaceful Texas countryside into a human slaughterhouse. (US, 1974, 84 mins, Dir. Tobe Hooper, 35mm)

MOTEL HELL (1980)
Rory Calhoun stars as the delightfully fiendish Farmer Vincent in a deliciously ghoulish tale of the macabre. You’ll also meet Vincent’s demented sister, Ida, brilliantly played by Nancy Parsons, who is eager to bury you with kindness. Even Wolfman Jack makes a special appearance. This visit to the Motel Hello will be one that will live in your nightmares for years to come! (US, 1980, 101 mins, Dir. Kevin Connor, 35mm)
