For one 24-hour period every October the Music Box welcomes fearless moviegoers as it transforms into…the Music Box of Horrors. The 2016 Music Box of Horrors is an unrelenting 24 hours of scares and chills, featuring some of the most frightening and entertaining horror films around!

This year’s marathon includes Director Gary Sherman presenting the ultra-rare Director’s Cut of Raw Meat (Moderated by director John McNaughton), Director Jim Muro with his gross-out Street Trash, and a new Restoration of silent horror Seven Footprints To Satan with a live musical score. Plus, the not-yet-released Another Evil, the demented Doctor Butcher, M.D., the erie & supernatural Halloween III: Season of the Witch on an archival 16MM print, the newly rediscovered Eyes of Fire, a comedy duo tangling with Universal’s iconic monsters in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, and more!
