Programmed and Presented by SUPER-HORROR-RAMA!

June 27 & 28, SUPER-HORROR-RAMA! examines the "gay best friend" trope in classic horror-comedies from the 1980s! The scene-stealing queer-coded sidekicks in Night of the Creeps (1986) and Fright Night (1985) subvert stereotypes and embody the truth that every living or undead being is one of a kind and equally worthy of celebration. Join us for two unforgettable nights of queer horror full of laughs, thrills, and heart in honor of Pride Month!

Before he gave us The Monster Squad, Fred Dekker wrote and directed Night of the Creeps, the ultimate sci-fi/horror/comedy mashup with aliens, zombies, and an axe murderer! Lovelorn nerds and college roommates Chris and J.C. try to join a fraternity so Chris can impress his new crush, Cynthia. On a dare, the two friends sneak into a cryogenics lab and thaw a corpse, which springs to life and barfs alien slugs! The slimy creatures infect the living and turn them into zombies with slugs for brains, and a wise-cracking detective (Tom Atkins) sees a connection to the man who killed the love of his life three decades earlier….

We're also screening Tom Holland’s Fright Night (1985) on Saturday, June 28 at 11:45pm!

Every ticket includes a limited edition pinback button (new design each night), and every show kicks off with killer giveaways donated by The Shadowboxery, Cryptid Craft Studio, Night Natalie, Drive-In Asylum, and Full Bleed Zine for the first folks who answer our trivia questions. The category is queer horror, so get ready!
