Is that a story you heard from a friend of a friend… or a threat? This October, HOLD UP gets into the spirit of the season with the 1998 slasher classic URBAN LEGEND, a bloody love letter to campus folklore turned deadly that promises to be almost as scary as it must have been working with Jared Leto. A killer is stalking the students of Pendleton University, basing each murder on a famous urban myth - from the killer in the backseat, to the escaped mental patient with a hook. Starring a peak-late-‘90s ensemble cast including Jared Leto (sorry), Alicia Witt, Rebecca Gayheart, and a scene-stealing Joshua Jackson, this is slick, meta-horror at its most entertaining.
Arriving in the wake of Scream, URBAN LEGEND carved out its own niche by weaponizing the stories we’re already afraid to tell at sleepovers. It’s a slick, self-aware thrill ride that asks the terrifying question: what if that creepy pasta was true? Join us for a Halloween-season screening that will make you double-check your backseat.
