Friday Night Film Club 9 - Halloween Special

Nosferatu (1922)

The original silent Dracula film.

The Birds (1963)

Because of the sheer mad as ten ness of it.

Night of the Living Dead (1968)

A group of people hide from bloodthirsty zombies in a farmhouse.

Magic (1978)

A ventriloquist is at the mercy of his vicious dummy while he tries to renew a romance with his high school sweetheart, starring Anthony Hopkins. A bit slow, but very creepy.

Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Following an ever-growing epidemic of zombies that have risen from the dead, two Philadelphia S.W.A.T. team members, a traffic reporter, and his television executive girlfriend seek refuge in a secluded shopping mall.

Night / Dawn / Day of the Dead Trilogy



The Shining (1980)

Tony, Red Rum, creepy twins, go carts, crazy carpet, windows that shouldn't be there.  All work and no play....all work and no play...all work and no play...

The Thing (1982)

Scientists in the Antarctic are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills. Worth it for the truly gruesome animatronics.

Poltergeist (1982)

A family's home is haunted by a host of ghosts.

Ghostbusters (1984)

Listen. ..... Do you smell something!

Evil Dead II (1987)

With the excellent Bruce Campbell.

Beetlejuice (1988)

The ghost with the most.

Braindead (1992)

What Peter Jackson was doing before that little known cult trilogy. Lots of homemade goop, mutant old ladies, lawnmowers and a ninja priest. What more could you want?

Army of Darkness (1992)

Army of Darkness which is really Evil Dead III. "THIS… is my BOOMstick!".

Leprechaun In Da Hood (2000)

Starring Ice-T and apparently one of the worst films ever made. One critic wrote that "There is simply nothing to recommend here, even a little". Ends with the leprechaun rapping about being an evil Irish leprechaun.

Session 9 (2001)

Tensions rise within an asbestos cleaning crew as they work in an abandoned mental hospital with a horrific past that seems to be coming back.


House of 1000 Corpses (2003)

Howdy folks. You like blood, violence, freaks of nature? Watch a terrifying ordeal unfold as two teenage couples travel across the backwoods of Texas searching for urban legends, and find more than they bargained for when they visit Doctor Satan's old serial killing grounds. Gruesome, bizarre and sadistic, this film will leave you feeling uneasy, and probably unable to sleep.

Antichrist (2009)

A grieving couple retreat to their cabin in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse. Harrowing in a don’t-want-to-see-but-can’t-look-away kind of way.
