Surprise once-in-a-lifetime screening

This is the first (and only) time it will be shown in the US with English subtitles, with a very special intro and Q&A. Don't miss it. We're serious.

Night Gallery: the H. P. Lovecraft episodes

Schedule block

Rod Serling's Night Gallery anthology series was known for its stories of the macabre and supernatural. It was a perfect fit for adapting some of H. P. Lovecraft's stories to the small screen. Here, we present "Cool Air" and "Pickman's Model" in all their 1971, 4:3 picture ratio glory!

Short Film Block 6.5 - NSFW w/Q&A

Schedule block

Every now and then we get a few short films that are on the more risqué side, but are also extremely well filmed and "get" cosmic horror. Lovecraft never included and rarely alluded to sex in his stories. So, why do so many authors, artists, and filmmakers find Lovecraft and Sex so intertwined? We have thoughts about this... but, we'd rather show you. Be aware, these films contain nudity and sexual situations, in varying degrees.
