This is the quintessential MiDNiTES FOR MANiACS film is John Carpenter’s 2nd entry in his “Apocalypse Trilogy” – preceded by THE THiNG (1982) and followed by iN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (1995). Trapped in a church that the dark lord himself inhabits and surrounded by a minion of murderous street people (led brilliantly by Alice Cooper!) is nothing compared to the eerie nightmares that this underrated, low budget, creep-fest will give you. Come on out for this extremely RARE 35mm screening film. (Plus, you can finally find out where all that sampling on DJ Shadow’s genre defining “Endtroducing” came from!) Preceded by a slew of trailers by the “Master of Horror”, John Carpenter.
