The 2022 Film Lineup

KIDS VS ALIENS (2023)
Dir. Jason Eisener
7:00 pm
All Gary wants is to make awesome home movies with his best buds. All his older sister Samantha wants is to hang with the cool kids. When their parents head out of town one Halloween weekend, an all-time rager of a teen house party turns to terror when aliens attack, forcing the siblings to band together to survive the night. The latest release from CUFF alumnus Jason Eisener (DARK SIDE OF THE RING, HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN and TURBO KID) recently had its world premiere at Fantastic Fest 2022.

THE HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY (1981)
Dir. Lucio Fulci
8:30 pm
A New England home is terrorized by a series of murders, unbeknownst to the guests that a gruesome secret is hiding in the basement. The 1981 Italian zombie horror film has been called "a hack-work of almost awesome incoherence" (Time Out).

CARNIVAL OF SOULS (1962)
Dir. Herk Harvey
10:00 pm
After a traumatic accident, a woman becomes drawn to a mysterious abandoned carnival. American independent filmmaker Herk Harvey's only feature, CARNIVAL OF SOULS has gained a large cult following, after its original release in 1962 as a double feature with the now mostly forgotten THE DEVIL'S MESSENGER.

Costume Contest at 11:30 pm

GRIZZLY (1976)
Dir. William Girdler
11:45 pm
An eighteen-foot-tall grizzly bear terrorizes a state park, leaving it up to a Park Ranger to save the day. The ill-fated director William Girdler (THE MANITOU, ABBY) truly established himself in the PG horror arena with this achievement that would be widely considered his artistic pinnacle: GRIZZLY.

LEATHERFACE: THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE III (1990)
Dir. Jeff Burr
1:30 am
A California couple and a survivalist encounter Leatherface and his family. Both a critical and commercial failure when it was released, the 1990 slasher and third installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series, follows Leatherface and his cannibalistic family stalking a motorist couple in the backroads of Texas.

BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR (1989)
Dir. Brian Yuzna
3:00 am
Doctors Herbert West and Dan Cain discover the secret to creating human life and proceed to create a perfect woman from dead tissue. Directed by Brian Yuzna (SOCIETY, RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 3), BRIDE OF RE-ANIMATOR is a more-than-worthy successor to Stuart Gordon’s original cult classic.

THE LOST BOYS (1987)
Dir. Joel Schumacher
4:45 am
After moving to a new town, two brothers discover that the area is a haven for vampires. The 1987 American supernatural black comedy horror was both a critical and commercial success, and has spawned a franchise with two sequels (LOST BOYS: THE TRIBE and LOST BOYS: THE THIRST), and two comic book series.
