Friday, oCTOBER 19TH
at The Castro Movie theatre
in San Francisco, CA.




7:30pm FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC (1987)
Directed by Jeffrey Bloom. Containing: Louis Fletcher, Victoria Tennant, Kristy Swanson.

Wes Craven adapted and was suppose to direct this incestuous Young Adult thriller, when the studio decided to rewrite the script and replace him with a PG-13 version and the results are actually quite creepy. A mother locks away her four children in their grandmother's attic, forcing them to learn the lessons of life... amongst themselves. As Lousie Fletcher (Nurse Ratchet) terrifies you as the kids ruthless grandmother, we can all imagine what Wes would have done, had he made it. Gorgeous and Rare Print. Preceeded by trailers of upcoming programs. 93min. 35mm.

9:45pm A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET –(1984) Written/Directed by Wes Craven.
Containing: Heather Langenkamp, John Saxon, Johnny Depp, Robert Englund.

It took Wes Craven many years to get a studio to take this script seriously. When New Line finally did, they gave birth to one of the scariest horror films ever made. For those of you who've only seen Freddy in the sequels, make sure you come out to help these eighties teens (including Johnny Depp in his first feature film!) as they fight the ultimate knife wielding, dirty-old man. I honestly feel this ranks up there with The Exorcist. WARNING: Contains some of the most disturbing nightmare sequences ever filmed. Preceeded by trailers of some other forgotten Wes Craven movies. 91min. 35mm.

MIDNITE
THE HILLS HAVE EYES
(1977)
–Written/Directed by Wes Craven
Containing: Michael Berryman, Dee Wallace, John Steadman, James Whitworth.

There ain't nothing like the original, especially when you have to keep repeating, "It's only a movie." Again, Wes Craven taps into our deepest fears when a vacationing all-American family gets stranded in the middle of a military testing ground in New Mexico. There's something lurking out in the desert hills and when you find out who they are and what they're gonna do, you'll agree that this is a true classic exploitation films of the 1970's. Don't miss this RARE screening. Preceeded by some truly horrific trailers. 89min. 35mm.

 

$10 for ALL THREE FILMS!
