The lineup:

CHILD'S PLAY (1988)

In this “clever, playful thriller” (New York Times), voodoo and terror meet when an innocent looking doll is inhabited by the soul of a killer who wasn’t ready to die. Only young Andy realizes that Chucky, who promises to be his “friend to the end,” is responsible for the ensuring rampage of gruesome murders. But the real terror takes hold when the deranged doll becomes determined to transfer his evil spirit to a living human being!

JASON LIVES: FRIDAY THE 13TH PART VI (1986)

U.S. | 86 mins | Dir. Tom McLoughlin | 35mm

As a child, Tommy Jarvis did what many others died trying to do. He killed Jason Voorhees, the mass murderer who terrorized the residents of Crystal Lake. But now, years later, Tommy is tormented by the fear that maybe Jason isn’t really dead. So Tommy and his friend go to the cemetery to dig up Jason’s grave. Unfortunately for Tommy, (and very unfortunately for his friend), instead of finding a rotting corpse, they discover a well-rested Jason who comes back from the dead for another bloody rampage.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984)

U.S. | 92 min | Dir. Wes Craven | 35mm

Nancy is having nightmares. Something in her haunted sleep wants to kill her. Something monstrous. Something unstoppable. But she has more to fear. Much, much more...

Her high school friends, she discovers, are having the same fiendish dream. And they are being butchered - systematically slaughtered in their sleep by the predatory monster of their shared nightmare.

When baffled investigating police ignore her chilling explanation, Nancy prepares to traverse into the hellish realm of nightmares to wage her own extraordinary battle with the ghastly killer. There, she confronts the dark, decade-old secret of the very real NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET!

Writer/Director WES CRAVEN (THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT) has composed an innovative horror-fantasy that will expose your deepest, primal fear. But you can tell yourself "it's only a dream." Can't you??

THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (1982)

U.S. | 77 mins | Dir. Amy Jones | 35mm

When Trish decides to invite her high school girls’ basketball teammates over for a slumber party, she makes three big mistakes. Number 1: She snubs the pretty new girl next door. Number 2: She forgets about teenage pranksters Jeff and Neil. Number 3: Her biggest mistake. She doesn’t know about an escaped mental patient who will soon be dropping in on the party… with his portable drill! Written, directed and produced by women, SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE will scare you right down to the core. You’ll love it!

PROM NIGHT (1980)

Canada | 92 mins | Dir. Paul Lynch | 35mm

A true slasher classic. At a high school senior prom, a masked killer stalks four teenagers who were responsible for the accidental death of a classmate six years earlier. Starring the ultimate scream queen, Jamie Lee Curtis.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II

35mm Screening

For Kirsty Cotton (Ashley Laurence), the nightmares never end. Still fresh in her fevered memory are her father's skinned corpse, the evil machinations of her Uncle Frank's re-animated body, and the unspeakable perversity of the Cenobites. But for Kirsty, the worst is yet to come. From beyond the Outer Darkness, from the darkest regions of the imagination comes HELLBOUND: HELLRAISER II.

Doctor Channard re-opens the channel between dimensions, making an unholy alliance that will once again propel Kirsty into the horrifying world beyond. And for a second time, she must confront the dark desires of the demonic cenobites and the awesome powers of their master, Leviathan.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2 & Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III

35mm Double Feature

THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE PART 2 (1986)

Plunge into the unimaginable heart of sheer, unrelenting horror! The blood-splattered saga of the original cult shocker – THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE – continues, as “Leatherface” returns and the screaming begins again!

Ten years ago, a demented family of killers butchered his loved ones. Now, DENNIS HOPPER (APOCALYPSE NOW, BLUE VELVET) is determined to wreak violent revenge. The trail of gore leads to a catacomb of surrealistic caverns, where unspeakable evil is committed – and innocent victims become the ghastly “ingredients” of a nightmarish enterprise. A gripping new experience in terror from the creator of the original TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, director TOBE HOOPER (POLTERGEIST, INVADERS FROM MARS).

LEATHERFACE: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III (1990)

A pair of college students driving coast to coast are lured off the main highway and on to a deserted Texas road. Here, they are stalked by LEATHERFACE and his demented family... a bizarre cannibalistic clan with blood on their minds. Their only chance for escape is a survivalist with enough firepower to blast LEATHERFACE and the rest of his grizzly predators to hell. A depraved shocker of intense terror from the gruesome beginning to the bloody finish.
