Girls and boys, ghouls and goblins, it’s time to venture back into the vaults at The Garden Cinema for another round of hauntingly horrifying Halloween screenings.
Get in the mood with newly restored anniversary screenings of Brian DePalma’s seminal Stephen King adaptation Carrie, perhaps the most inventive slasher ever made, Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street, and the the ever-inventive grandfather of modern US horror, John Carpenter’s Halloween. The smaller beings in our audience can enjoy a gently monstrous classic of their own, with pay-what-you-can screenings of Monsters Inc.
Dare to enter our Members’ Halloween quiz? Be forewarned, many players from last year’s quiz have reported peculiar visions as of late, which may have led to one particularly disturbed participant to propose the surrealist underground masterpiece, Carnival of Souls, which will also screen during Allhallowtide.
Even Al Pacino is getting scary, and exposing the truly diabolical side of capitalism in The Devil’s Advocate.
Our resident maestro of the cult and forbidden, Video Bazaar, invites you to the nightmarish mood-piece Next of Kin, a repeat anniversary screening of the terrifying reality that is Threads, before reaching a ritualistic climax on Halloween night itself, with a (potentially) cursed live-scoring of Häxan.
