Thursday, October 24, 2024 6 p.m. – 7:45 p.m.
SPECIAL MAD Movie-A-Thon-O-Rama Halloween Flick!
Terror titans Stephen King and George A. Romero joined their fear-making forces for the first time in 1982 on this homage to the EC Horror comics they both grew up reading in the 50s. Prepare yourself for these nauseating four-color terror tales! The yarns include vengeful zombies from the grave, deadly weeds, creatures in crates, and a bad case of cockroaches. King adapted his stories and Romero filmed it with horror comic lighting and panels. Special effects ace Tom Savini delivered the menagerie of monsters. Adult language, graphic 50's horror comic violence, adult situations and monsters that do horrible things. It stars Leslie Nielsen, Adrienne Barbeau, Ed Harris, Hal Holbrook, Fritz Weaver, Ted Danson, E.G. Marshall and Stephen King as the doomed country bumpkin Jordy Verrill. King and Romero promise it's the most fun you'll ever have being scared. You will walk into the auditorium... but you will crawl out! The Auditorium opens at 6:00 p.m. and the movie begins at 6:30 p.m. Food and drink are allowed in the Auditorium during the movie. 120 mins.
