Gremlins chased you, Ghoulies terrified you, now beg for your life because for the next Sleepover Saturday, the Nightmare on Main Street film series is bringing you the 1986 oddity Spookies!
Filmed in upstate, New York, a group of over-the-hill teenagers partying in an old dark house fool around with an Ouija board and summon a warlock, a werecat, skeletons, spiders and even gassy zombies, all brought to life in stunning 1980s practical effects. We’ll be joined by producer and co-writer Frank Farel for a special Q&A where Frank will detail the making of the film, including how the movie “Twisted Souls” morphed into Spookies.
Come early for a free VHS swap meet from 5:30 to 7:00pm. Then the movie will kick off at 7:00pm with horror hostess Glam Stroker and a brand new Halloween-themed preshow.
