SHRIEK returns to our 7pm showtime as the days grow shorter. After several months of record-setting turnouts and amazing conversations about women and people of color in the horror genre, it's time for a good solid HECKLE NIGHT, and we've chosen a lighter film for September: RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD!
This film is not an official sequel to George A. Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (or is it? ask the legal department), but a kind of parallel universe spun off from that franchise. It is, however, the first film to popularize the idea that zombies eat brains specifically (as opposed to any body parts). Bring your brains, your best pseudo-punk new wave 80s look, and join us for happy hour, heckling, and zombie paradise.
Doors: 6:30pm. Opening Talk & Film: 7:00pm
