Scary Movies 4
October 27 – 31

In its fourth unearthly year, Scary Movies returns with an onslaught of spine-tingling premieres, rarities, and classics. See the world premiere of Village of Shadows with the director Fouad Benhammou in person! Chill to the New York premieres of Jim Mickle's fresh festival favorite Stake Land and Christopher Smith's bubonic-era Black Death. Don't miss two electrifying films from Australia’s new wave of genre mavens: James Rabbitts' The Clinic and Sean Byrne's The Loved Ones.

Rare repertory revivals include a double dose of fright from star cameraman Freddie Francis (The Creeping Flesh and Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors), as well as the classic multi-tale Dead of Night. And what Halloween would be complete without dear, dear Carrie?

Scary Movies 4 is programmed by Laura Kern & Gavin Smith.
