Programmed and Presented by SUPER-HORROR-RAMA!
May 30 & 31, SUPER-HORROR-RAMA! returns to Music Box for late-nite screenings in Theatre 2, and this time we’re exploring the outer reaches of slumberland with a pair underseen horror films about people trapped in their worst nightmares!
In Dream Demon (1988), a schoolteacher named Diana (Jemma Redgrave) is plagued by violent nightmares in the days leading up to her wedding, making her think twice about tying the knot. A tourist named Jenny (Kathleen Wilhoite) with childhood amnesia goes to Diana’s house in search of answers. As the nightmares cross into reality and threaten to consume everyone whole, Diana and Jenny turn to each other for help and uncover the mystery of Jenny's past. Dream Demon is a must for gorehounds, goths, and anyone who loves a joyful lesbian subtext!
We're also screening Dreamscape (1984) on Saturday, May 31 at 11:45pm!
Every ticket includes a Limited Edition Pinback Button (new design each night), and every show kicks off with Giveaways donated by The Shadowboxery, Cryptid Craft Studio, Night Natalie, Drive-In Asylum, and House of Monsters for the first folks who answer our trivia questions correctly. The category is bad dreams in cinema, so get ready!
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
