HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN / H.P. LOVECRAFT’S RE-ANIMATOR

There’s only one Friday 13th this year, and Horrorthon wants you to remember it! So, to mark the occasion, we present you with our best double-bill yet.

As with Robert Rodriguez’s Machete, which alsoorigated from the fake trailers of the Tarantino/Rodriguez folly that was Grindhouse, Hobo with a Shotgun is (pardon the pun) a blast — an entertaining mix of violence and laughs that works as a reminder that sometimes sticky floors and popcorn scares work best. So come see Rutger Hauer deliver justice one shell at a time!

As if that wasn’t enough, don’t miss this rare chance to see Re-Animator on the big screen. One of the key horror movies of the past 30 years, Stuart Gordon’s film is just as repulsive and just as brilliant as it was when you first saw it. (Screened with the permission of Re-Animator Productions Inc.)

This is going to be a great Fright Night; don’t miss it! (Notes by Kevin Coyne.).Our good friends at Momentum Pictures UK have given us with the following to give away prizes at this screening of Hobo with a Shotgun and Re-Animator! Up for grabs are 50 TROLL HUNTER T-shirts, plus DVDs that include INSIDE, THE HORDE, SKYLINE, MUTANTS, THE REEF, MONSTERS, MY SOUL TO TAKE & two special GRINDHOUSE prizes also. Gonna be some Friday the 13th !!!
