They will make cemeteries their cathedrals and the cities will be your tombs…A masked man offers tickets to a horror movie sneak preview at the mysterious Metropol cinema. When a patron is scratched by a prop displayed in the theatre lobby, she transforms into a flesh-ripping demon! One by one, the audience members mutate into horrible creatures hell-bent on destroying the world! Can anyone escape this gory orgy of terror? Regarded by horror fans as one of the greatest Italian splatter films ever made, Lamberto Bava’s DEMONS is not only major cinematic nightmare fuel but also a hugely entertaining gore-fest. Produced by Dario Argento (SUSPIRIA, TENEBRAE, PHENOMENA), DEMONS features an amazing soundtrack of 80’s rock/heavy metal music by Billy Idol, Scorpions, Mötley Crüe, Accept, Saxon and more!

What could be scarier than an all-night “Horrorthon”? A group of film students finds out when they stage just such an event at an abandoned movie palace. They decide to screen a bizarre short called THE POSSESSOR, whose creator, Lanyard Gates, killed his family and set the theater on fire after its first showing. As the festival proceeds, the students are stalked by a mysterious killer. Has Gates survived to continue THE POSSESSOR’s deadly legacy? A loving homage to ’50s/’60s B-movies (the trio of flicks shown at the Horrorthon all have accompanying William Castle-style gimmicks), POPCORN is also an insanely fun horror/comedy in its own right, celebrating the joys of old-fashioned creature features and ’80s-style stalk-and-slay.
