Halloween 16mm Special: Double Romero
The analog double feature for Halloween has become a tradition for us. This year we are dedicating it to the "Godfather of the Dead" himself: George A. Romero. In addition to his zombie genre defining Hexalogy of the Dead, he also created several other horror gems and social critiques in one, two of which we present to you:
18:00
CREEPSHOW (THE WEIRD AND WACKY WITCHING HOUR)
USA 1982, 120 min, OV, 16mm
With Leslie Nielsen, Hal Holbrook, Adrienne Barbeau
"The most fun you'll ever have - being scared!" promises and delivers the cult anthology film inspired by EC Comics' horror comics from the 1950s. Stephen King wrote the screenplay for the five episodes, which cover numerous sub-genres from outright horror to horror-comedy.
20:00
THE CRAZIES (CRAZIES)
USA 1973, 103 min, OV, 16mm
With Lane Carroll, Will MacMillan, Harold Wayne Jones
When a virus developed by the military escapes from the laboratory, a small US town is transformed into a place of terror. A fated community tries to survive while the infected "Crazies" go after anyone and everyone and armed men in protective suits try to contain the spread of the virus. Who is the greater danger? Romero's reflection on war in the Vietnam era, 12 years before DAY OF THE DEAD.
