THE WRAITH
(1986)
U.S. | 93 mins | Dir. Mike Marvin | 35mm
A marauding bunch of car-racing delinquents has ruthlessly murdered several
youths in a series of fiery auto wrecks. The desert community of Brooks,
Arizona is in the heinous grip of these street thugs until HE arrives. HE is
the "Wraith," a mystery man from the stars out to avenge the gang's
hold on the terrified town. The Wraith is justice... behind the wheel of a
black, turbo-charged Dodge!
THE BLOB
(1988)
U.S. | 95 mins | Dir. Chuck Russell | 35mm
More graphically-realistic than ever — "THE BLOB" has returned in
this horrific tale about a vile, malignant life-form that crashes to earth in a
cozy, rural American town called Arborville. Untroubled by conscience or
intellect, the Blob does only one thing — and does it well. It eats anything
and everything that moves... And tonight it wants to swallow Arborville whole.
FRIGHT NIGHT
(1985)
U.S. | 104 mins | Dir. Tom Holland | 35mm
Meet Jerry Dandridge. He's sweet, sexy, and he likes to sleep in late. You
might think he's the perfect neighbor. But before inviting Jerry in for a
nightcap there's just one thing you should know. Jerry prefers his drinks warm,
red—and straight from the jugular! It's FRIGHT NIGHT, a horrific howl starring
Chris Sarandon as the seductive vampire and William Ragsdale as the frantic
teenager struggling to keep Jerry's deadly fangs out of his neck. Only
17-year-old Charley Brewster (Ragsdale) knows Jerry's bloodcurdling secret.
When Charley can't get anybody to believe him, he turns to a TV-horror host,
Peter Vincent (Roddy McDowall), who used to be the "Great Vampire
Killer" of the movies. Can these mortals save Charley and his sweetheart,
Amy (Amanda Bearse), from the wrathful bloodsucker's toothy embrace? If you
love being scared, FRIGHT NIGHT will give you the nightmare of your life!
DOLLS (1986)
U.S. | 77 mins | Dir. Stuart Gordon | 35mm
From the maker of RE-ANIMATOR and FROM BEYOND comes the horrifying
nightmare DOLLS! Astounding special effects and ghoulish humor mix in a
screaming delight that's all dolled up and waiting for you.
When David Bower, his wife Rosemary, and daughter Judy get stranded in a
violent thunderstorm, they seek shelter in the only place they can find – a
mysterious gothic mansion inhabited by the haunting Hartwickes and thousands of
seemingly harmless hand-made dolls. The storm has also brought a young
businessman and two hitch-hiking punk rockers to the spooky
"dollhouse." Once warm and dry, the group settles in for what they
think will be a restful night. But later, the dolls come to life, attacking all
but a lucky few. The Dolls want to play house... and after they're done, there
may be no house left! These DOLLS mean business... deadly business.
