HALLOWEEN - NEVADA THEATRE - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27th, 7:00 PM: Our last double feature spotlights one of our favorite subgenres of horror, the sinister slasher! Released in 1978, John Carpenter’s Halloween instantly became an overnight sensation, terrifying audiences and popularizing slashers for a whole new generation. The film stars Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode, a teenager who finds herself the target of the psychotic serial killer Michael Myers on Halloween night. Perhaps the most influential horror film ever made, we are excited to bring Halloween back to the big screen on October 27th!

THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE - NEVADA THEATRE - SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27th, 9:00 PM: The second film in our Sinister Slasher double feature, THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE is a darkly humorous take on the slasher genre. The movie follows a group of high school girls who decide to throw a slumber party while their parents are away. As the night unfolds, their fun is interrupted by an escaped mental patient armed with a power drill, who begins stalking the women. The screenplay, written by Rita Mae Brown, was intended as a spoof of Halloween and films like it. The result is a movie that combines traditional horror elements with satirical undertones, offering a unique take on the slasher genre of the 1980s.

ONYX AFTER HOURS, Friday 10/18 @ 10 PM: Looking to capitalize on the success of Jaws, this zany creature feature follows a police officer and a reptile expert who track an enormous (and ravenous) alligator flushed down the toilet years earlier. After years spent in a chemical soup, this mutant man-eater begins attacking residents after escaping from the city's sewers. We think it’s the perfect entry into our After Hours: Schlocktoberfest line-up.
