We have covered all bases, no matter your taste for terror …
We’ve sourced the original 35mm prints to present John Carpenter’s genre-defining nightmare HALLOWEEN & the groundbreaking work that broke the internet, THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, just as they were intended to be seen, on glorious celluloid film! Experience a double bill of interstellar terror with back-to-back sessions of the sci-fi horror classics, Ridley Scott’s ALIEN & James Cameron’s ALIENS! See the original theatrical version of THE EXORCIST, back on the big screen for the first time in 20 years with a stunning 4K restoration in commemoration of its 50th anniversary.
That’s not the only 4K restoration! Enter a nightmare realm of relentless horror with Tobe Hooper’s genre-defining cult classic, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, awaken to a world of hidden truths with John Carpenter’s sci-fi cult classic, THEY LIVE, be gripped tight in psychological suspense with Kim Jee-woon’s South Korean horror gem, A TALE OF TWO SISTERS or sink into the atmospheric haunted house tale that challenges reality and perception, with an ending that still shocks to this day, with our screening of THE OTHERS. All gloriously restored and remastered in 4K.
In celebration of their 55th anniversaries, lose your mind with Mia Farrow in the iconic Polanski psychological horror ROSEMARY’S BABY or see the movie that invented the modern zombie with George Romero’s original THE NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, venture into darkest corners of the human psyche with the riveting Japanese masterpiece CURE or experience the birth of an enduring horror icon in CHILD’S PLAY, celebrating it’s 35th anniversary, and let Chucky’s maniacal laughter echo through your nightmares. The icons of horror don’t stop there: The vengeful, razor-gloved spectre of Freddy Krueger steps onto the silver screen for the first time in master filmmaker Wes Craven’s A NIGHTMARE ON ELM SREET or see the classic that birthed a franchise that defined the slasher genre with FRIDAY THE 13TH.
Perhaps your tastes twist in a different direction: Discover the mind-bending visuals, eccentric characters, and a whirlwind of bizarre happenings in the curious, infamous blend of horror and humour with Nobuhiko Obayashi’s avant-garde Japanese horror film, HOUSE (HAUSU). Let Robert Eggers’ directorial debut transport you to 1630s New England, where a devout family’s faith is tested by an unspeakable evil in THE WITCH or be ensnared by the macabre rituals of a secluded Swedish festival with the extended Director’s Cut of Ari Aster’s MIDSOMMAR. Discover for yourself the original 1989 terror that’s haunted audiences for generations, based on the best book by the master of horror Stephen King, with PET SEMATARY. Finally, enter the dark unknown with the oft underrated cult classic, Kathryn Bigelow’s vampire neo-western NEAR DARK.
If your nerves can handle every title in our Halloween takeover, then the scariest thing in the cinema might be you!
