For years, IFI Horrorthon has given Dublin cinema-goers nightmares. A place where boundary-pushing new films, undiscovered gems, and cult icons collide in the Irish Film Institute. As part of Slaughterhouse of Horrors, they’re teaming up with Slaughterhouse for a special 35th anniversary screening of Pet Sematary.

Doctor Louis Creed (Dale Midkiff) moves his family to Maine, where he meets a friendly local named Jud Crandall (Fred Gwynne). After the Creeds’s cat is accidentally killed, Crandall advises Louis to bury it in the ground near the old pet cemetery. The cat returns to life, its personality changed for the worse. When Louis’s son, Gage (Miko Hughes), dies tragically, Louis decides to bury the boy’s body in the same ground despite the warnings of Crandall and Louis’s visions of a deceased patient.

Tickets for Pet Sematary also include access to an afterparty in the foyer, where the crew from HONEYPOT will wake the dead with a brand new soundtrack for the legendary 1922 film Häxan.

Presented in collaboration with Slaughterhouse and the Dublin City Council Bram Stoker Festival, as part of IFI Horrorthon 2024!
