About this Event
Join us for a free in-person screening of the 1974 cult classic Deathdream (also known as Dead of Night).
In this shattering variation on “The Monkey’s Paw,” grief-stricken suburban parents Charles (John Marley) and Christine Brooks (Lynn Carlin) refuse to accept the news that their son, Andy (Richard Backus), has been killed in Vietnam. But when Andy returns home soon after, something may be horribly wrong: Andy is alive and well . . . or is he?
Directed by Bob Clark just before he made his groundbreaking slasher classic BLACK CHRISTMAS, this furiously subversive zombie thriller was one of the very first films to confront the domestic ravages of the Vietnam War, and it marks the grisly debut of gore-effects legend Tom Savini.
After the screening, participate in a Q&A with star Richard Backus, offering a rare opportunity to hear firsthand insights from the star of this iconic film.
Don't miss this unique chance to experience a classic horror film on the big screen and engage with one of its stars!
Enjoy free popcorn on us!
